mailbox, use the Exchange Management Shell or the Exchange Management Console. For
instructions, see

If you cannot recover the mailbox using the Exchange Management Shell or the Exchange
Management Console, such as when the retention period is expired, you can use Data Protection
Manager (DPM) to recover the mailbox.
To recover a mailbox, DPM must copy the entire database because this is the recommended
method that Exchange supports, as explained in Knowledge Base article 904845,
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=96542).
When you select a mailbox for recovery, you cannot select Latest as the recovery point.
The Latest option recovers the data from the most recent recovery point, and then applies all
committed transactions from the server logs. This functionality is not available for individual
mailboxes.
Item details will not appear on the Recovery Wizard Summary page for Exchange Server
mailboxes.
