We have a problem with an Exchange server that is throwing a weird problem.

It's Exchange 2003 SP2 on a Small Business Server 2003 (SP1).

For one user, and one user only, he is all of a sudden receiving errors and warning emails from Exchange telling him he has reached his mailbox size limit - and is prevented from sending or receiving mail.

We have long since removed all global mailbox size limits on the mailbox store, and the user has no user specific settings defined either.

Whats even more bizarre, is that the warning email he got says his mailbox size limit is 200MB - but he's been way over that for quite some time now (ie, currently at 1.8GB!).  Various other users have mailboxes even larger - but they don't get this problem.

Any ideas?

Many thanks!

You could try exporting all his mail to PST, deleting his mailbox, recreating it, and reimporting all his mail.

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to check those specific properties for that user using ADSIEdit (or LDP.exe) and make sure that they aren't hanging around in there somewhere and simply not being displayed in ADUC.
