Can't connect to OWA on SBS2011

User generated imageUser generated image
Hi,
  I have one user on the network where it fails to run OWA (https://remote.Domain.com/owa) . I can log into his Remote Workplace (https://remote.Domain.com/remote) and see main menu. But it generates the same error (please see above) when I click "Email" from the main menu.
OWA has been working all along until we had exchange mail database corruption and repaired.
Please help.

His outlook seems to be fine. After exchange database repair, I had to erase and re-create his excahnage account on his iPhone and it works fine now.
His outlook was a different story. His desktop that has Outlook2010 and the Terminal Server where OUTLOOK 2010 is being used, it  works well. But we have another Terminal Server where OUTLOOK 2003 is being used and that one locks up from time to time when trying to send email out.  So I figure there is something wrong with his exchange mailbox.

@cgaliher
After the corruption, one particular user mailbox was giving some problems consistently, so I had to export his outlook data into PST, disable one user's mailbox (size >11GB) and re-create the mailbox in Exch Mgmt Console, and import PST into this outlook. Since then all is good including iPhone synch.

The reason I hesitate to going thrue disabling & recreating mailbox is that I learned that after mailbox is re-created, any internal email to this newly created mailbox came back undeliverable. So I had to delete OAB on everyone's computer and download addressbook from GAL. But if that is the only option, I will do that again.

Here is the error message along with bound back email: the mailbox name is "John Doe Jr"

IMCEAEX-_O=FIRST+20ORGANIZATION_OU=EXCHANGE+20ADMINISTRATIVE+20GROUP+20+28FYDIBOHF23SPDLT+29_CN=RECIPIENTS_CN=JOHN+20JR+20DOE@Domain.local

I saw the follwoing off 2nd article (http://msexchangeguru.com/2012/03/15/x500/ )

/O=EXCH/OU=EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP (28FHSDHJF23GHYED)/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=J.Mayers@contoso.com

Is the below correct X500 format for the mailbox?

/O=EXCH/OU=EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP (28FHSDHJF23GHYED)/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=JDoeJr@Domain.local

so just add that to Email Addresses tab?
Do I need to restart anything for this new address to take effect?
Can I send a test email to that account immediately after adding it and clicking Apply?
It will work immediately nothing else required.

Based on the first link (http://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/exchange-e-mail-addresses-and-the-outlook-address-cache/)
When I run "get-mailbox mailbox_alias| fl legacyexchangedn", I get :

/o=First Organization/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=John Doe Jra74

Is this what I need to enter?
