When Exchange stops opening your mailboxes
You can't open your EDB file. The database won't preview, mailboxes are out of reach, and the business still needs its email. Best Exchange Recovery Mailbox (sold by the vendor as InFixi Exchange Mailbox Recovery) is aimed at that situation. It repairs a damaged Exchange database and converts the mailbox contents to Outlook PST files.
