Is there any way to repair a corrupted mailbox? I have a user who has
hundreds of appointments scheduled. One of his appointments is causing
Outlook to crash. When the user logs on to any workstation and runs his
calander, Outlook crashes about 1 minute later. Because of the number of
appointments the user has scheduled, it is not possible to simply
delete/recreate the appointments one at a time to see which one is causing
the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

You could try exporting his mailbox to a PST file using exmerge. This will
drop any corrupted items.

try running Outlook with the /cleanfreebusy switch, and maybe the
/cleanreminders switch as well...sometimes this can correct a problem like

After I export the mailbox using exmerge, can I just merge the pst back into
his mailbox (ie - will the pst overwrite everything in the existing
mailbox)? or do I need to delete all the items in his mailbox and then import
the pst back in?

Thanks

I would delete his mailbox, recreate it (remember to initialize it), and then
exmerge the pst back into his mailbox.

Thanks for the heads up. Is there a document somewhere that lists all of the
possible switches?

If I delete his mailbox and recreate it, will people who used to have
permissions to his calender and mailbox before have access again (ie - Will
the permissions be saved and restored with exmerge)?
