Scanning a Mailbox - Redemption Version

[Rob_Wilcox1]

Sometimes it is desirable to scan a particular mailbox to see how many items there are in the mailbox, how many pending items there are, and how many archived items there are.

This small executable allows you to do that.  You run it on any machine after installing Redemption - and you can use the 'demo' version of that.

The command line to run is :

CountItems.exe exch1 jeff1 1

The output looks like this:

**********************************

**   Count Items in a mailbox.  **

**********************************


Output format is folder name then 'Number of Items' / 'Number of Pending Items'

/ 'Number of Archived Items'



Exchange Server: exch1

Mailbox Name   : jeff1




Results:


Num Items     : 15312

Num Pending   : 0

Num Archived  : 13365



Size Items    : 44269086 (bytes), 43231 (Kb), 42 (Mb), 0 (Gb)

Size Pending  : 0 (bytes), 0 (Kb), 0 (Mb), 0 (Gb)

Size Archived : 24965744 (bytes), 24380 (Kb), 23 (Mb), 0 (Gb)

If you run it with the third parameter being 0 then you see this:

CountItems.exe exch1 jeff1 0

Output format is folder name then 'Number of Items' / 'Number of Pending Items'

The parameters are :

Exchange Server Name

Mailbox Name

1 or 0 to indicate SUMMARY mode or non-summary mode

I've included the binary, and the source.

The one caveat with this is that it doesn't detect archived items which aren't shortcuts - ie calendar items, and tasks.
