Recently I restored a former employees Inbox. When the messages restored, the sent date was dated the day I restored them - the original date was nowhere to be found.

I'm running Exchange Server 5.5, ArcServe IT for Open Files, and Exabyte 2 Mammoth tape drive.

Is there any way I can restore the messages and see their original sent dates?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

The only way to see the date the emails were sent is to open the email in question. The original sent date should be in the actual message's properties. While the message is opened, choose, from the menu bar, file/properties. The final options isto have the receiver of the email message send it back to the user and the original date should be on it. There is no known way to do that automatically using the scenario you provided. I know this work around is a drag, but at least it is "doable" for those email messages that are critical to know when it was sent. Good Luck. Bunkee
