Possible but hard. You need another Exchange Server to do it. From the
Tivoli Site:
(http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/pubs/v3pubs/v1_html/msexc/ab5etfrm.htm)
The procedure to restore one or more individual mailboxes (or messages or
folders within a mailbox) requires the use of an Exchange Server that is
separate from your current Exchange site. This separate server must have
sufficient disk space to restore the entire Information Store. The
procedure is as follows:
1. Set up a Windows NT server to be your individual mailbox
recovery server. This server should have the same version of NT with
the same or higher service level. Ensure you use a unique machine name
within your NT domain.
2. Install the same version of Exchange Server at the same or
higher service level. You must configure the Exchange Server with the
same organization and site name (but you will have a unique server
name). Also, it is important that you do not select Join Existing Site
during the installation. Select Create a New Site. Otherwise, you
could end up with two sets of mailbox data for the same users after
completing this procedure.
3. Install the same version of the Exchange Application Client at
the same or higher service level.
4. Use the Exchange Application Client to restore the Information
Store for the Exchange Server containing the individual mailbox to be
recovered. Follow these steps:
a. Create a TSM options file with the same node name and
parameters as used by the Exchange Application Client on the
original Exchange Server. If PASSWORD GENERATE is used by the
Exchange Application Client on that server, you might need to use
the DSMCUTIL program on that system to obtain the current
password for that node. You should not use PASSWORD GENERATE on
this machine.
b. In the Exchange Application Client GUI:
i. Select the IS database and the TSM server icon
representing the options file with the correct node name and
TSM server information. This was created in step 4a.
ii. Select the Restore tab.
iii. Select the Show All button to get a list of the backup
objects for that node.
iv. Select the Information Store database you want to
restore. This also includes any associated incremental
backups or differential backups as required. Select the
Restore button.
5. Run the DSIS consistency checker, which populates the Directory
Service with information from the restored Information Store database.
For more information on the DSIS consistency checker, see your
Microsoft Exchange Server documentation.
6. Log onto the administration program and assign permission to the
mailbox or public folder you want.
7. Log into that mailbox on the Exchange client.
8. Copy all mailbox information to an Export file to give to the
user for whom you are doing the restore.
9. Instruct the user on how to load the mailbox from the Export
file.

Does anyone know weather it is possible to restore a single mailbox and
have
you tested it?
