Thanks for that handy tip. All the time I've read emails on this list I've never seen this for some reason. Worked like a charm.

I've read bits and pieces and understand things in theory, but haven't done any tests yet (time, time, time). Anyway, here's a not-so-hypothetical example. Say a user accidentally SHIFT+DELetes a lot of email in a folder. What's the best/easiest way to get this back? Is there a way to replay all the logs on the server and get the email back? A full online backup occurs every single night, but the important emails were sent after 8AM this morning. So, the logs have everything needed. I was just wondering that if there is a way to replay all the logs and get the emails back, a) how do you do that and b) will it resend every email that people had sent before? And by the way, I do have the disaster recovery white papers and I've read them twice, just haven't done any hands-on stuff yet, so this is my chance I guess.
