Hi Craig When you recreated the account did you create a new mailbox?, if you did then you will be unable to reconnect the account as you can only have one mailbox per account. You can delete the mailbox that is currently assigned to the account and then reconnect it to the original account.

Case in point: A user on our domain was deleted when he should not have been. His mail box was not deleted. When his account was recreated, we tried to reconnect the old mailbox. But when selecting a user in the "Select a new user for this mailbox" dialog a message comes back saying that the user cannot be found. We tried several different users a none can be found even though they can get there mail just fine. Any ideas would be great Thanks.
