Renamed User in Exchange 2007, mailbox problem
This is my first time and first posthere.Today I renamed a user account in Exchange 2007 Management Console, as the user was incorrectly spelt and also corrected the email address.Since doing that the inbox stills work correctly, but all the mail in the sub folders has disappeared, the folders themselves are still present but the mail in them has gone.Other than renaming the user back to the incorrectly spelt name which also didn't work,I haven't done anything else to try and fix the problem other than look around the net to no avail. Please help.James

Vinod,No haven't tried new profile.What I should have also put on the original post is that nobody directly accesses the mailbox, it is added into a number of user's mailboxes.

So if you have the same view in OWA as you have in Outlook, you better prepare your backup-tapes for doing a restore with your recovery-group.But you may create a new userobject and restore the data to the new user-object to be sure, the old user object isn't corrupt.good luck

James;One of the multiple people who access the mailbox either deleted the contents or moved the mail to a PST file.(Or into their own mailbox)Karl
