Hi, 1. If user has lost all the emails from inbox and deleted items. How we can recover it. If we don't have mailbox level backup but has database level backup. Can we recover it by Eseutil . 2 What are only two difference between mail flow of exchange server 2k3 and 2k7.

YES .. You can use Recovery storage feature in Exchange 2003/2007 to create a RSG group , restore you backed up database to this RSG and export the mail. it can be doen bysuing powershell and also usign EMC http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997260(EXCHG.80).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997694(EXCHG.80).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb809007.aspx In exchange 2003 you can use ESM ,,

Thanks for reply, Can we recover mails from ESEUTIL command. Thanks

No, eseutil is not a "message recovery" utility. What is the deleted item retention set to for this user? Sure the messages arent simply in the dumpster?

Khoj, is correct and gave you some great information on RSG's, alternatively you may want to consider a third party product like Lucid8's DigiScope http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp that can open the offline copy of an Exchange 2010, 2007, 2003, 2000 or 5.5 database so that you can then Browse, Search, View, Export or recover entire mailboxes or specific items.

just to be sure, have you checked the dumpster? click on inbox/deleted items in outlook and go to tools - recover deleted items. MCSE | MCITP - Server 2008 | MCITP - Exchange 2007 | MCTS - Exchange 2010
