QUESTION POSED ON: 19 June 2007
I'm new to Exchange Server and I wanted to learn more about how and where email is queued in Exchange Server on Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003 before it's downloaded to Microsoft Outlook 2003.
When I configure an end user's email account, I open Microsoft Outlook 2003 and go to Tools -> Email Accounts -> Add New Email Account -> Microsoft Exchange Server. Then I type in the server name and username (that I want to configure the mailbox for).
It sounds easy enough, but I was wondering if there is somewhere in Exchange System Manager (ESM) where I can view everyone's mailbox individually. From what I understand, priv1.edb is the database that holds all mailboxes and email, but this cannot be opened.
Is there a place on the server where I can view email messages waiting to be downloaded into Microsoft Outlook? I am trying to find out where the email goes after the sender hits send but before it reaches the recipient's mailbox. Any light you can shed on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
