How can I disable a mailbox in Exchange 2000 without disabling the end user account. I know if I delete the mailbox it will disable it but I am afraid it will eventually purge this mailbox.

Delete the email addresses with the mailbox so its impossible to send/receive email with it.

Yuo can also set the message size to 0K as well if you wish.

don't worru u can just try doing remove exchange attributes. what this will do is disconnect the mailbox. also you need to check the deleted item retention period. SO even it is deleted you need not to worry bout it. As a precation you can take exmerge backup of the mailbox. in case of queries plz contact me at sunlightpal@msn.com
