Not really an option as the corruption (and I don't know how long ago that started as Exchange appeared to be working fine until the STM disappeared) that came with the disappearance of the STM file occurred a month ago or so. Only very recently people noticed that some old messages would not open. We have come to terms with that and now just want to clean up the pointers that have no entries in the new STM file. Hence Jeff's recommendation to run isinteg against the EDB file, rather than to go back in time with a restore.

I had a corruption on one of my EDB files and had to recreate the STM file. At the time it looked like no mail was lost, but alas, this was not true. Outlook now still reports mail items that can't be opened. Error: "Can not open this item" Checked Event logs - no errors. I had a look at the Eseutil options and MDB Viewer. I really hope that this is a database cleanup action, rather than an individual mail item deletion. I checked the Archives, Microsoft Support site and TechNet. I must say it's quite an art to get the keywords right to get a meaningful search...:-) My question is: How to get rid of those items in the EDB file. A consistency check says the file is consistent. Any answers welcome, even if you feel I must research more, that's great too, but plse point me in the right direction.
