I get an error "MAPI 1.0 ID no: 8004011d-0289-00000000" and can only find an EXCH2K reference to this. Bearing in mind that there is actually no mailbox in the IS - just an entry in the GAL. I updated one mailbox and the USN was suitably changed. I deleted one and it was ok. But I've got about 170 of these and the "semi-automation" using Export would probably take about as long as deleting them manually, and I'd still be no wiser as to what has caused this.
