Thank you, this really is incredible! It saved a lot of effort that would have been directed at recovering a mailbox that was archived using Microsoft Backup on Windows 2003.

Also remember that when employees are terminated, you disable their accounts at the designated time regardless of if they are still on site or not. We left a fellows account active because he was not terminated at the right time. Big mistake!

This tip has just saved my bacon and allowed us to recover hard deleted email by a recalcitrant manager…:-)

Does email messages still reside in the Information Store Database on Exch 2003 after Archiving them from Public Folder Mailboxes? Also what database stores these Archived Messages in Exchange Server 2003? Is this part of SQL?

Thanks worked wonderfully.

User deleted email hard… Created a new profile on my computer logged into their box. The Recover Deleted Items option lit up and was able to get the messages back…. Thanks again.

By default, Exchange server allows us to keep deleted messages for 7 days and deleted accounts for 30 days. If this was set to 0, then I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to recover the deleted email. Follw this article for configuring the deleted item retention period:

This tip did not work for me.

WHAT if the exchange 2000 server has the KEEP DELETED EMAIL setting set to 0.

Can I still recover though I was not able to.

ALSO how to connect to the non exchange mail box versus normal. I am confused by the wording.

thanks danny
