Hey I had an exchange account at one point and have since removed it.
I am now getting a request from my boss to recover an email box of a
user that is no longer with the company and who didn't get
transitioned from exchange to our new system. Any ideas of a way I
could get this user info back? without installing exchange.

what is your new system? not running Exchange now? if you no longer have
any exchange servers, the only way you'd be able to get the data from an old
backup tape would be by using a 3rd party application, such as Quest's
Recovery Manager for Exchange...

That would have been nice Zadok but the user's computer had been
formatted. I think I'm going to have to go with a third party like
susan suggested. Thanks you two.

those solutions are not inexpensive, but invaluable to have around...I get
requests like that all the time...
