IIRC, IceCreamBoy recovered his own POP mail once in this fashion!

When you move mail off the server (or the mail is downloaded to a local pst folder), it deletes it out of the inbox and it can be recovered with the Dumpster hack enabled and DIR... -----Original Message----- From: Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 9:15 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Missing Mail If you have a deletion retention period defined and someone POP's their mail off the server, can you recover it? I always thought that when you pop it removes it totally from the system and it could not be recovered. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Morrison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 3:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Missing Mail Either the mail was delivered (or moved_ to a .pst file, or it was removed from the server by a POP3 client. If you have Deleted Items retention turned on, you can get it all back by using the DumpsterAlwaysOn [1] registry hack to recover the items. If you don't have DIR turned on, you'll have to determine where the mail is and move it back. Mike Morrison NT/SMS/Exchange Administrator Ben & Jerry's Homemade, Inc.

We have a problem with one of our users. He had until a few days ago around 7000 e-mails in his inbox and folders. They then mysteriously disapeared. We checked that he didn't have any filters on. He didn't. We accesed his mailbox from to other machines and still no go. The client on his is outlook 97 and the two other test machines were Outlook 97 & Outlook 2000. We checked with the admin tools how much mail he had and they showed all the mail was still there. We ran eseutil and isinteg with all tests and fix. Although it found some errors it still hasn't fixed the problem. I've searched TechNet with no solutions to be found. Any ideas appreciated.
