With the new year upon us many of us are cleaning house for the new year and getting the business loose ends tied up to launch ahead into 2009 with a vengeance!

With this in mind many companies experience adds moves and changes of employees. If you are the person in charge of managing your companies email and your company uses Hosted Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes you will want to be careful deleting mailboxes. Outlook mailboxes hold much more information than just email these days. Deleting a mailbox will remove all that persons contacts, calendar, tasks and notes as well as their entire email history.

So be careful and backup that mailbox before you deleted it. I know with great certainty that hosted exchange providers have to charge a fee to recover a deleted mailbox due to the fact that it is a time consuming activity for them.
