Thank you. Working on it. Do you think this has to do with the fact that I changed the log path from one partition to another?

I'm afraid that log files are not in the backups :( Is there any other way to start a fresh database and then import the mailbox from the offline database to the new one?

Thank you for your help. I found that by using set mailbox database I can point the users to a new database but all messages are lost :(

Hi, I will suggest you as per my practice that make sure always that every thing which you are moving or removing that is saved somewhere I think you will never get problem again. As its my general practice that I use backups in my daily routine. Regards. Shafaquat Ali.M.C.I.T.P Exchange 2007/2010, M.C.I.T.P Windows Server 2008, M.C.T.S OCS Server 2007 R2, Phone: +923008210320

Hi, Did you run eseutil /mh to check the edb of the database? Then post the results here. We need to use this command to check the missing logs that result in the database failed to be mounted. Based on the result, let's decide to use which method to make the database mount. Thanks Allen

Hello, by deleting everything in the logs folder then eseutil /p Database did the trick.
