How do I retrieve emails that were sent out from an end user through Exchange server. I'd like to be able to view the person it was sent to, the subject, and body of the email. Is this a possibility

Yes.

On the Exchange server goto the Internet mail connector. On the Diagnostics Logging tab choose message archival and max level.

All e-mails that are sent in can be found in
\exchsrvr\imcdata\in\Archive

All e-mails that are sent out canbe found in
\exchsrvr\imcdata\out\Archive

All you have to do is drop the archive files in these folders onto the inbox in outlook express to form the e-mail. (this does not work with Outlook)

I apologize I forgot to mention I am using Exchange2K Server, that folder isn't available anymore

Take a look at the following KB articles: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q307798 and http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q254767 (How to Install and Use the Exchange Server Archive Sink). Youc an enable the ability you're asking for by following these articles. If you're looking to retrive mail that already left and you haven't already enable the archive sink, you'll need to restore the users mailbox to the point in time you need to look at and take a look at the sent items.

If you cut and paste the URLs from above, remember to remove any spaces from them or they may not work. Good luck...
