I've had a user delete all his messages in his inbox. Now we've found it
hasn't been backing up (another issue we're sorting), so we need to if
possible recover the messages. I don't have the setting enabled on Exchange
to keep the deleted emails for x days, so that's not an option.

Does anyone know of any decent tools for restoring these either via the
exchange server (2003), or via the local copy in outlook (as it's 2003 with
cached mode enabled).

Any help is appreciated!

Well, if you deleted all the messages, they're not in the Deleted Items
folder, they're not in Deleted Items retention on the Exchange server AND
you don't have any backups...I'd say you're probably out of luck.

You don't have backups of his computer OR of the server?
