Gathering Mailbox Content and Attachments

To configure content and attachments gatherings for mailboxes, you must select the mailboxes you want to include in the gathering and define the criteria for the message content and attachment information that you want to gather.

You cannot run a Mailbox Content and Attachment gathering unless you have run a Default gathering task.

The account that is used to run the gathering must also have additional permissions. See the previous section titled “Required permissions for Content and Attachment gatherings”.

It is recommended that you select 10 mailboxes or less. If you select more than 10 mailboxes, performance can be seriously affected and the MessageStats database can grow substantially.

The average recommended mailbox size is 200 MB. If you want to select more than 10 mailboxes, it is recommended that you create several gatherings with batches of 5-10 mailboxes.

All content

Collects all content, except body text.

To include body text in the gathering, select the Only content that satisfies the following filters option and enter the text that you want included in the gathering.

Only content that satisfies the following filters

For details, see Applying Content Filters .

No content

If you select the No Content box on the Content Filters page but select some attachments on the Attachment Filters page, MessageStats stores some content information.

Since attachments are attached to items in a mailbox, MessageStats must store content information for any item that contains one or more attachments that meet your collection criteria.

The content information ensures that attachments can be traced back to their originating items and they can be easily found using Microsoft tools outside of MessageStats.

When you create a Content and Attachments task, there are additional task property pages that you use for:

Selecting Mailbox Items

On the Mailbox Items page, you can select the mailboxes from which you want to collect content and attachment data. You can browse the Exchange organization to select the servers or mailboxes that you want to include in the gathering task.

You can select individual mailboxes from within a server, or you can select the server box to collect content and attachment information from all mailboxes on the server.

It is recommended that you select 10 items or less. If you select more than 10 items, performance can be seriously affected and the MessageStats database can grow substantially. The average recommended mailbox size is 200 MB. If you want to select more than 10 mailboxes, it is recommended that you create the gathering with batches of 5-10 mailboxes.

Applying Content Filters

Use the Content Filters page to define the mailbox content information that you want to gather. During the gathering, MessageStats processes and stores the content that matches the criteria that you identify.

Content and Attachments gatherings are extremely resource intensive. Carefully consider the content criteria that you specify. Only collect the information that is required and review the Content Filter page often to ensure that the information meets your needs.
