How to recover mail store (database) from exchange crash:

background: in 2007, can't mount mail store after crash.
  1. reboot
  2. run ESEUTIL /mh (mailstorepath\mailstore.edb) on all mail stores to determine if any store is in "Dirty Shutdown" state
  3. run ESEUTIL /p (mailstorepath\mailstore.edb) on each "Dirty Shutdown" store
  4. mount mail stores, if successful, go to end
  5. if mount fails, move e00.chk, tmp.edb and catalogdata-xxx folders to other location
  6. retry mount

At work with mails I recommend to use this tool-recover outlook express email,it helped me not once and has free status as is known,utiltiy is reliable and it is easy in use in my opinion,program compatible with all currently supported versions of Outlook Express and Microsoft Windows,keeps your mailbox in many files of dbx format, but, it does not split messages from attached documents,can work with very large files of dbx format and process them in a batch mode,will see the list of files, that are a part of your mailbox,process of email recovery in Outlook Express represents the recovery of corresponding files with dbx extension.
