After completing a VMWare ESXi 4 restore of an SBS 2003 server I discovered that one user could not receive any emails from internally or externally. They all backed up in the 'Local delivery' queue that you can see in the Exchange System Manager. The user could however send mails and receive junk oddly.

I read that this was down to the Mailbox Store being corrupted which I really did not want to have to restore. It turns out just that mailbox was corrupted in some way so that would have been a lot of extra work for one mailbox.

You're not really supposed to be able to delete mailboxes and re-create them in SBS as its tightly woven into creating new users but this was my only option. Here's how to delete the users mailbox, recreate it and hopefully get mails flowing again as it worked for me!

There is now a great 1 click solution to rooting your Tattoo and flashing a new recovery rom on to it so you can backup your original rom and start playing around with your Tattoo.

The version you want is:

I've also attached it to this story.

I had a lot of trouble trying to browse UDF 2.5 when archiving documents off to Blu-ray discs. I was using the UDF 2.5 driver from Toshiba which everyone seemed to be using but if I tried to run an .exe off a BD-R it would instantly BSOD!

I've since found out that the free Nero InCD driver supports UDF 2.5 and also doesn't seem to cause a BSOD everytime I need to run a setup off BD-R!

Download it here...

I've now got rid of my Samsung F480 and got myself a nice HTC Tattoo. The main reason I got rid of the F480 is because A. the touchscreen had stopped working and B. I completely destroyed the phone trying to get it into another chassis!

I'm liking the Tattoo which runs Android 1.6. One thing that is annoying though is the amount Orange seem to have customized it and the fact that not a lot of applications in the Android marketplace support QVGA. This means they are just not available. Apparently more VGA Android devices will be out soon so support should increase.

Anyway...

Here are a couple of interesting sites I've found along with apps to customise your phone.
