Introducing Content Analysis Reports

The content analysis reports provide item count and volume information for the items in public folder databases and mailbox databases. You can audit the information using specific criteria.

These reports are typically used to perform a detailed investigation on a few mailboxes. Due to MAPI limitations, it is not recommended that you include a large volume of mailboxes for Content and Attachment gatherings.

Prerequisites

To see data in Content Analysis reports, you must have run a Content and Attachments gathering to collect information about the email or public folder content and attachments. The Content and Attachments gatherings can consume a large amount of processing and memory resources, and can use a large amount of database space to store data, so they are not included in the Default Gathering task.

To create the gatherings required to provide content for these reports, see the MessageStats Administrator Guide.

About Mailbox Content Reports

The Mailbox Content reports provide detailed item count and volume information for items in mailboxes. You can also use the reports to identify message header details including originator, recipients, subject line, and message identifier for mailbox items that meet specified audit criteria.

In the reports, you can right-click on a heading and use the Insert Field option to add additional information. You can insert user details such as mobile telephone number, or mailbox information such as the object GUID in Active Directory.

Prerequisites

To see data in Mailbox Content reports, you must have run an Exchange Mailbox Content and Attachments gathering to collect information about the mailbox content.

Mailbox Content -
Item Count by Folder

This report provides a detailed item count and volume information for each mailbox folder, broken down by items, deleted items, unread items, and total items.

The mailbox folders include the system-generated or Outlook-generated folders (such as Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes, Journal, Junk mail, Drafts) and user-generated folders (such as Project 1, Project 2, My stuff).

The report provides the actual item count and volume information per mailbox and mailbox folder at the time that the data was gathered, regardless of the content filters that were enabled during the gathering.

About Public Folder Content Reports

The Public Folder Content reports provide the item count and volume information for items in public folders and can identify message header details including originator, recipients, subject line, and message identifier for public folder items that meet specified audit criteria.

In the public folder content reports, you can right-click on a heading and use the Insert Field option to add additional information. You can insert information such as the creator of the folder, custom attributes, folder age limits (expiration), and any storage quota limit details.

If a public folder is not mail-enabled, MessageStats cannot collect certain attributes from Active Directory such as custom attributes.
