Outlook has an "inbox" and a "Sent Items" mailbox among others.
Every time mail is received, it is saved (logged) as an item in the
inbox. Every item you send to someone else is saved in the "sent
items" mailbox.
At this time, while the mail is being sent and received, no record is
being kept.
Ok. Let me say what I *think* your problem is and you tell me if I'm right
or not.
You have Outlook 2000 clients connecting to an Exchange 2000 (or previous)
Server.
At this point in time, no user can see their mail in their Inbox.
They are able to compose a new message to another user on the server and hit
send, but that message is not in the Sent Items folder and the recipient
never sees the message.
Is this correct?
And let me ask again in a different way, logging has lots of meanings
especially when you bring in Exchange. It generally has to do with the way
messages are saved within the Server's information store or with transfer of
messages between servers (internal or external). In the server environment
itself, it can refer to the logging of errors in the Event log. In Outlook,
logging generally refers to diagnostic logging. The saving of messages to
the Sent Items folder is not considered logging and mail going into the
Inbox is not logging at all.
So, since you mentioned the private and public databases of the Exchange
server, I want to make sure that you're not referring to the EDB*.log files
that get generated in a normal, day-to-day working of the Exchange server.
While we're on the subject, how much free space is there on the server?
