I'm trying to find out if there is a way I can disable email accounts on exchange 2000 server or through the Windows SBS 2000. Everytime I disable the accounts I cannot access any of the information that was inside the account folders, such as word or excel documents. I just want to disable the email accounts not the whole account. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

You can always use another account to access the disabled users mailbox, geven that another account have permission to access the mailbox. Also before you disable a windows account givethe account "SELF", "Associated external account" permission, and remove the permission after you enable accounts.

I'm sorry I probably didn't make myself clear. ( Everytime I try to disable the email account, the whole user account gets disabled.) I still want to be able to access the user account because of the folders that are inside of it. I just want to stop mail from coming to that account. So in short version....Keep user account active but kill the email portion. Thank you.

You can remove the mailbox, right click on the account and select Exchange tasks and then remove mailbox.
