In Macrium Reflect Server Plus you can use Mailbox Restore to restore individual emails from a backup of Microsoft Exchange. This is useful if your backup contains some vital emails or attachments, but you don't want to have to restore the whole Exchange server in order to access them .
Mailbox Restore can restore emails, appointments, contacts, journal entries, notes and tasks. Whenever this knowledgebase article describes restoring "emails", any of these can be restored in the same way.
Access requirements
For Mailbox Restore to function, Microsoft Exchange MAPI and CDO must be installed on the server. These are present by default on Exchange Server 2003. For Exchange 2007 or later, they can be downloaded from the following link:

In order to restore an email using Mailbox Restore, the edition of Microsoft Exchange running on the target server must be the same as the original server. An email backed up on a server running Exchange Server 2007 can be restored onto other servers running Exchange 2007, but not to a server running Exchange 2010.
A mailbox needs to exist on the target server, with the same name as the original mailbox.
The user running Reflect must have full access permissions for the mailbox being restored to. Further information about setting up these permissions can be found in the following knowledgebase article:
Setting up permissions for Mailbox Restore
