You should use a Recovery Storage Group (RSG) and extract the mail items from the RSG. For Exchange 2007, see for instance Using Recovery Storage Group in Exchange 2007http://www.petri.co.il/using_rsg_in_exchange_2007.htm Restoring Exchange Mailbox Data Using the Recovery Storage Group, Part 1http://www.petri.co.il/restoring_exchange_mailbox_recovery_storage_group_part1.htm Restoring Exchange Mailbox Data Using the Recovery Storage Group, Part 2http://www.petri.co.il/restoring_exchange_mailbox_recovery_storage_group_part2.htm For Exchange 2003Using Recovery Storage Groups in Exchange Server 2003http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998782(EXCHG.65).aspx How to use Recovery Storage Groups in Exchange Server 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824126Jon-Alfred Smith MCTS: Messaging MCSE: S+M
