I am having the same problem with finding the corrupt email and getting rid
of it. Why does it not show up in the in box? Your answer doesn't answer
the question. I am using Veritas Backup Exec and encounter the same problem
with garbled messages showing up in the job log as "in use cannot verify"
then the backup shows as failed. While the data is there to do a restore it
is still a problem to have these error messages and not be able to correct
it. Does anyone have the real answer?
