Re: Deleted user accidentally; how to restore without wiping out E

Thanks for the response Grey. As you were sending in that response which
should work I was also on the phone with SBS support and John Mina suggested
running the wizard to add user and not accept "Create Mailbox" method. Then
went into Exchange and reconnected with the existing mailbox which was still
there with current emails. Sounds like two slightly different ways to get to
the same good results.

Thanks for posting a reply. I had posted this question on a number of
support sites and you were the only person brave enough to respond. How this
helps someone else in the future.
