Hi Kevin-
Thanks for responding. The user account still shows up as an Exchange
mailbox that I can send undeliverable to. Inside Exchange System Manager and
then under TOOLS>MAILBOX RECOVERY CENTER there aren't any mailboxes listed.
Is this where I would go to try to recover the email?
Thanks-
Doug
