RSSExchange Messaging Outlook Volume 15, Number 6
Today's Highlights:
Find a folder by its name
Anyone who uses folders to organizer Outlook has
undoubtedly "lost" a folder at least once and
discovered that Outlook does not include a way to
search for folders by name.
Michael Bauer of VBOffice.net has a VBA script
you can use to search for your folders by name
(wildcards supported) and open the folder. It's
only limitation is it only returns the first
matches. If your folder names are not unique, it
will only find the first folder.

Exchange Quick Tip: Mailbox statistics
In recent weeks I was asked how to extract a list
of users mailboxes and the mailbox sizes and how
to check the last logon time in Exchange 2007 and
Exchange 2010.
For either, you can use the get-mailboxstatistics
command. Note that the last log on time is when
anyone logged into the mailbox - this could be
the mailbox owner, delegate or someone with
permission to view the calendar. It won't tell
you which account logged on.
The simple Get-MailboxStatistics -Server
server_name command will return a simple list of
display names, mailbox item count, storage limit
status (returning below limit, warning etc) and
last log on time.
The longer list format returns more information:

Outlook Quick Tip: Searching for Phone Numbers
An Outlook user had this question: "I need to do
a 'reverse lookup' on a phone number in my
Contacts folder, so I can identify people on my
phone bill. None of the phone number formats I
used find the number. "
For this you need to use the Advanced Find
dialog, and select the option to search phone
number fields only.
Poll: What is your main account?
Our April poll is about the types of email
accounts in your main Outlook profile. We
couldn’t cover all the options, so make the
choice the best fits your configuration.
