Hi, This might be confusing, but here is my situation: I made a new user and the user logged in and used the mailbox. Since he travels around and did not have a VPN connection set up, he did not want to be an Exchange user, but rather just receive his emails through POP3.
The user was deleted, and then I made him a "contact". He had been a "contact" for some weeks now, and now wants to be a real Exchange user. I deleted the contact for him, and made him a real user (same name and information as when I first made his user account some weeks ago). I went into his Outlook, and under services, I noticed he still had the Exchange service as well as the POP3 internet email service. I closed his Outlook, and re-logged him in. Now, his inbox is empty and all of his old mails are gone. On the Exchange server System-Manager, I see his mailbox has only a few items. What mistakes did I make? I had no idea he still had the Exchange service this whole time, because he was not a real user. His mailbox never appeared in the System-manager, yet his mails were obviously stored there. From what I could see on the server, he was a contact with no Mailbox. I searched his harddrive for both a PST and OST and found neither. How do I get his emails back?
