Hi Chris, Thank you for your response, the situation is that the user has got his email box active and has got all his sent and received emails in its folders showing its old sent on or received dates accordingly, what he complains about is that the text in one or two of his sent and in one his received emails has been changed , its not the same as it was when received or sent although it holds the right old dates of the time it has been sent or received at with all the other information in place, the user accuses that some one from the admin team in purpose used his power and full control to make those changes, now its a challenge is it possible technical wise for an admin to do those changes at the user mail and to save those changes keeping all the old dates and references of the original or not ? Please advise Chris Wall <Chris.Wall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: http://www.MSExchange.org/ Yes that is possible.... Does the recipient know the dates the e-mail was sent? If so, is deleted item retention turned on so that it can be recovered from deletion? If it is outside of the retention window (if enabled) have the admin restore the users mailbox in a test environment and recover the sent items. I would hope that you have good backups to recover...

I think that what any changes the admin would do would not saved after the admin log off from that user' mail box, We have a user who complained that some information has been deleted from his sent to a recipient email !! he is accusing the admin, is that technically possible to be done ? Please advise hazem "Lara, Greg" <GLara@xxxxxxx> wrote: http://www.MSExchange.org/ Further to Raj's explanation, if this is on an Exchange 5.5 box, any account with "service account admin" rights can open any mailbox without further assignment of permissions. In either case, the mailbox will have to be opened from Outlook, but once you've done that you can get to any folder and modify messages; these modifications will be seen at any client, unless it's a POP3 or IMAP client that has downloaded the messages already (and not deleted it from the server for some reason).
