Q.
I need to check the e-mails of an ex-employee whose ID has been recently deleted. Do I need to restore the entire post office to a test server to do this?

Dear Peter: Depending on the time period since the deletion (shorter the better), try the following steps:
Copy the USERxxx.DB to a safe directory.
Import a user with the same FID (File ID) as the ex-employee using the GWImport utility or a similar utility.
Copy back the USERxxx.DB to the OFUser directory.
Log into GroupWise and check the e-mails.
