Before I did, I exported the Inbox to a PST file so I wouldn't lose any e-mails. Once I recreated the mailbox, the user clicked on the Contacts folder, but there was nothing there. He also clicked on the Calendar only to find that all the appointments were gone. Is there a way to restore this information? Or once the mailbox is gone, it's gone? >> CLICK for Scott Schnoll's response... http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid1_cid509399_tax285117,00.html For more expert advice, sign up to receive SearchWin2000.com's "Tips from our experts" biweekly newsletter.
