What you should look for are corrupted messages. These will typically be exemplified either by messages that cannot be moved/opened or deleted. You might see event log entries either from the Exchange store or even from your backup software, complaining about messages that can't be opened or be backed up. Browsing your store with mdbview without knowing what you're looking for is like browsing your registry in total ignorance, hoping you'll find something suspicious. Before you go in there I would suggest scanning your logs, if there's nothing in there, then turn up your logging level and have another look. At some stage, if there is something "iffy" about these mailboxes then the store will start complain/informing you about it. That's if the problem is in the store and not a malformed mail attribute on the user object. What did you say your problem was? _____

Are there any mailbox diff tools out there that I may be able to use to find the differences between these mailboxes and the rest of them?
