Can I delete mail stright from the Mail Store?
My backups are erroring out with a single common error message, one particular email (in many different mailboxes) is corrupt. I figured, instead of running around to hundreds of different mailboxes, I want to delete that particular email right out of the Store, wherever it is (all mailboxes, etc.).
Sound ssimple enough; but I couldn't find anything that will show me how to approach this scenario.
My guess is, either it cannot be done or there is a tool I can use to do this. Either way, you experts should know this answer right away, hence the 'EASY' point value.

I dont think its possible in tha way, you can use a tool called MFcmapi to hard delete corrupted messages from the store. but Only for a single mailbox. BUt it you want you can explore this. But be carefull MFCmapi is a downlevel tool wrong usage can be disastrous

I am running Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition on windows 2003 Sever Std., and I am backing it up with Backup Exec 10d.
I am not actually the 'backup admin' so I don't know which settings he is using (BLB or not). All I do is check out the status every once in a while (because it impacts me) and I see the errors. What settings should be used for the Exchange backups?
