Recover Deleted Items in OWA

A user with a mailbox on Exchange wanted to know how to recover items deleted using Shift+Delete. She uses OWA and when she was on an Exchange 2003 server, she added cmd=showdeleted to her mailbox URL to access deleted item recovery. This trick isn't working for her in OWA 2010. No need to resort to  

SMTP Error: 500 Line too long

When you receive "500 Line too long" error message in an NDR, it's because the message has more than the allowed number of consecutive characters in one line (ie, no line feeds) and the SMTP server or firewall / antispam filter bounced the message. The line limit in Exchange Server is 8000. WatchGuard and Ironport

Outlook 2010 and Multiple Mailboxes

Arguably the best feature introduced in Outlook 2010 was support for multiple Exchange mailboxes within a single Outlook profile. Before we begin discussing that feature, let’s introduce a couple of concepts. The first is called "message fidelity". It’s fun to say. :) The basic concept is that a message created by Outlook can have many attributes  

How to Show the Sender’s Email Address and Reply Time in Outlook

How to show the sender’s e-mail address and other fields in a column in message list view. Many Extended MAPI properties are added to messages when they are committed to Outlook message store or the Exchange mailbox but Outlook doesn't have a built in way to expose the value. You can view them using a custom configuration form that exposes the value in a custom field.

Exchange Server Mailing Lists

Microsoft Exchange Server does not have any specific built-in function for self-managing mailing lists to which users can subscribe themselves. However, as described by Tony Redmond in his May 1999 article for the Exchange & Outlook Administrator newsletter, it is possible to combine several Exchange Server functions to build at least a rudimentary list server.  

Limit the number of Internet messages a user can send

An administrator asked if it is possible to limit the number of outgoing Internet emails each user can send each day.
