asked on

recover deleted mail from an SBS2008 server?

We have a user that has just left the company, and he has deleted all of his e-mail. He has also deleted the "deleted items" folder.

Is there anyway to recover this?

We have a backup which is secured by 2 etxernal drives which are rotated every other day. So we may not have a backup, ar ther any other ways to deal with this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

How do we check if this is possible on our SBS2008 server using Exchange Server?
I have just checked and the retention option on our exchange server has not been configured. I therefore presume this is not an option for us.

Many thanks.
Crap.   You should configure it to keep deleted items for the future.  This way, if someone deletes something accidentally, you'll be able to retrieve it without pulling outthe back ups.

I beleive the backup will be you only option in this situation.

Good luck!
