Whoa!! Have you confirmed that he's using a PST? Because if he isn't, there's something else wrong.

I second that opinion. User's don't seem to ever understand the need to
place things on the network until it's too late.
I've tried to restore mailboxes and then found out locally is where
everything was sitting. In your case I guess you'll have to presume that
the mailbox is gone.

nope, the entire mailbox is totally empty. I can restore other users boxes
fine.
Oh well...looks like the poor chap's lost his mail...perhaps next time he'll
respect our policy about not using local drives for storage :o)

Tell us a little more about how you're doing the restore. How are you doing
it to a recovery server? Are you running DS/IS consistency after the restore
(presuming you're restoring IS)?
If you're doing the restore properly, then I think your guess is right -
that he was having his mail delivered to a pst. Anything in the Deleted
Items/Sent Items?

One of my users has somehow lost his mailbox contents (he had two boxes,
requested one be deleted, and someone deleted the wrong one). I've recreated
the box, but when I've gone to restore the contents, it's empty. I tried
again from a backup taken a week earlier, and that's empty too. Does anyone
have any thoughts on what could have caused this, and/or how to get it back?
Running NT4/SP6 Ex55. Oh, and one of the wonderfully helpful desktop guys
rebuilt his PC, so I can't check whether he was previously having it
delivered to a PST, unless anyone knows a way of checking this from the
logs?
Any help appreciated, as always!
