Recover Deleted emails in exchange
I'm running 25 XP clients on an SBS 2003 network. I'm using Exhange Server and running Office Outlook 2003 on the clients. The president of the company is looking for some old emails that he had saved in a folder. The folder had no Auto Archive settings. Now, the emails are gone. I really don't think he deleted them. Are there any other options that I have? Is it possible that the size of his emails became too large and they are not pulling down from the server onto the client?
Thanks

worst case scenario - if you know when he last had sight of this folder, restore his mailbox from a backup taken shortly afterwards

I will try some of the suggestions above, but just to clarify, the emails we are hunting are from 2004. So even if I had the retention set to something crazy like 2 years, it wouldn't be in there.
but when was the last time he saw these particular emails?
if the last time he remembers seeing this material was in 2004 it is more than possible that he has deleted them at some point in the past and simply forgotten about it

Retention time is from the delete time, not the age of the emails
