Is this Exchange 2003 or newer?
there are 2 mailboes appearing when i go into exchange mailbox clearup - i would like to recover one to attach to the new account - Try to add one at a time to understand which is the correct Mailbox.

When you say a bounceback ? If there isnt a Mailbox there is bound to be a Undeliverable as Exchange cannot find the object reference to :)
