There are these two mailboxes in my Exchange Server 2003 organization that keep mysteriously losing all items in their Inbox. All other folders underneath are seemingly unaffected. Thank God I had a backup of them from last night but I can't see anything on the server end that could cause this. There are no update policies to clean out mailboxes, there is no archiving happening at the users end. The ONLY coincidence I am seeing is that I do hourly Incremental backups of the database and it happened right after a backup. Is it possible that messages can get deleted after the online backup taking place (with log files being deleted and all???) ANY help at all you guys could give would be wonderful! Thanks I advance!
