I accidentally deleted a user (I used omdelu). Is there any way I can restore that user? I really need to restore the mail box including things like sent items.

Thanks in Advance

If you have a recent full mailstore backup or a sxmboxexp, then yes, you can. If not - chances are you would not be able to.

If you have a full backup, you can restore to another machine, then run sxmoboxexp, create the user on your live server and do a sxmboximp.

If it was an enterprise user with smartcache on their desktop with a synced profile, then you could potentially disconnect the network cable from their machine, and then start up outlook. It would start offline. Export the PST while they are offline. (Never tried it, but I'd bet you could...) That will give you a backup of their email in a PST. You could import it from there.
