Question : Exchange 2003 Mailbox missing - big mystry

We used to have a mailbox which was added into few of the users outlook. We were doing AD cleanup excercise and probably have deleted that user account and mailbox acccidently 3 days ago.

We need to restore that mailbox as it had lots of stuff in it. So i went to excahnge system manager and was looking mailboxes which are still in the rention period and showing with red cross/disconnected under mailboxes in ESM. I can see all other mailboxes but not this one which i am looking for.

We have even checked all the old exchange backups from our backupexec exchange backups can't see that perticular mailbox in the any of the old backups.

There could be possiblity that may be there was no such mailbox but it was only mail enabled user and our customers used to sent email to that email address but i can't prove this because that perticular mailbox was added in few of the users outlook and now they can't expland that mailbox from their outlook because it does not exist now. If that was only mail enabled address then how come it was added into their outlook because only mailbox can add into outlook.

Any idea how can i find or restore that mailbox will be much appriciated. thanks
