Outlook disconnected from exchange since disk space issue on server

Question
-
we had a disk space issue on the sbs this morning. This is now resolved but as a result there is a single outlook 2010 client that cannot connect to exchange. It says disconnected in the bottom right corner.
I have tried to rebuild local profile, start outlook in safe mode but nothing works.
How can i get this user connected to exchange again?
Thanks

When you log into owa and fails is there a stack trace if so post it. Also run get-mailboxdatabase |clean-mailboxdatabase. Also run set-mailbox user -database (the database name he is on)

exchange 2010 on sbs 2011
the C drive filled up after a backup exec was put into verbose logging. The drive is now back up to 300 GB of free space. The sbs has also been restarted.
Hope this helps?

so you have exchange databases on C drive ?
did you checked EventLog ?
Check in services.msc exchange services are they up a specially Information Store service ? if not, try run and then check again eventlog.Remigiusz

A problem occurred while you were trying to use your mailbox is the error when trying to access the mailbox using OWA Monday, August 6, 2012 11:44 AM -
So summary outlook can connect to mailbox or not ?
OWA can't connect, but if you write in browser url to your OWA you receive OWA logon page ?
Check in EMC is OWA enabled for this user.

both outlook and owa cannot connect for one user only
owa gets to the logon page but then generates the error after loggin in
outlook just says disconnected

i havent tried any of them? there is only one mailbox database.
i have just tried this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980049 - and now waiting for the server to be restarted
i have just been told there is a number of other who have full mailbox access to this mailbox, they are also unable to view the contents of the mailbox
