See or count the amount of emails that a specific Microsoft Exchange mailbox receives

Question

Is there a way to see or count the amount of emails that a specific Microsoft Exchange mailbox receives?

I need to know on average how many emails one specific exchange mailbox receives per month. I can start counting from now, but I was wondering if there is an easy way to get these statistics.

Thanks

Solution 1

If you have Message Tracking enabled then you can track the messages a mailbox (user) recieves in a given time period.

Solution 2

You can check the exchange.log folder. There should be a log per day ex 20100604.log . You can copy this log and analyse it in excel.

Please check this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246965 to find out what the fields represent.

Hope this helps.

overall? per what time unit? what exchange version?

+1 - Message tracking FTW. I gave it to you rather than joeqwerty because you included a link to the description of the tracking log files.

With a Google search on Message Tracking Exchange 2003 I was able to find the information I needed. Thank you.
