Question:

How can I get a count of items in a user’s Exchange mailbox?

Answer:

Use PFDAVadmin and enable logging to file.

1. Tools Menu > Options > Enable logging to file checkbox

2. Tools Menu > Export Properties

3. Select only the following three properties

PR_CONTENT_COUNT : 0×36020003

PR_DISPLAY_NAME : 0×3001001E

PR_FOLDER_PATHNAME : 0×66B5001E

4. Choose a file path to save to

5. Click OK to start processing.

 

Note: You may find better success importing the resultant file to MS Access if your exchange environment is extremely large. The reason for this is due to versions of Excel and limits they have, to the number of records per worksheet.
