I deleted an Exchange mailbox by mistake, I do not have a tape backup of this mailbox, I was told that it still can be restored through an exchange utility, Is this possible, Can someone please help me with this.

if you deleted the mailbox itself in the exchange admin console your SOL unless you have a backup., but if you just deleted the inbox from the client you can get it back if you have the exchange server set up to cache deleted mail, if exchange is setup right goto your deleted items folder then tools and recover deleted items

I am not sure where it was deleted from. If the mailbox was deleted on the client machine ...depending on your settings ... you may simply be able to go to the client machine and search for the archive.pst file and reimport. Simple but effective. Ifnot, from now on ... I suggest you go to tools/other tab and activate the archive setting so that recovery option is available when you get into problems. Hope this helps.
