Re: [Exchange2000] Corrupt Emails

Did you shift + delete sometimes it works. If not you may have to try using
mfcmapi.

Subject: [Exchange2000] Corrupt Emails


Hi Folks,

We have a customer who managed to corrupt their Exchange 2K3 databases due to
a dirty shutdown. We've got the databases back for them now, but some users
have email(s) in their Inbox that are unreadable, and cannot be deleted,
marked as read etc. We've ran all the usual 'fixes' but these emails refuse
to go away. I presume this mail was either in the process of being delivered,
or open at the time the server went down and are thus corrupt, any ideas of
how we can clear them out of the database?

Thanks all

Thanks for the quick reply James. Shift+Delete doesn't work, I'd tried that already! I downloaded mfcmapi and tried that, and got the following error, and the...

Here's something that worked for me when I had a run of similar problems on an E2003 server: have the user try to move the messages to a .pst file. If that...

Can you define "usual 'fixes'" in greater detail as isinteg should help with things like this. In some scenarios, logging in through OWA to delete those emails...

You might be done :) it's not uncommon to see this type of behavior after corruption. Maybe try moving the mailbox and skipping corrupted items. James ... ...
