Status: offline 		This seems so easy and yet I am at a loss to create a report requested by a manager who wants a report of the email in a particular inbox.  I would like to script it or use EM Shell so I can schedule it.

All I can find in the EMS are the get-mailboxfolderstatistics cmd which doesn't list the actual emails. 

Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

Why does he want this? Does he understand that a user can simply hard delete something and it won't appear in the report?
I can't help feeling that he's after some information as part of a spying exercise and isn't approaching it from the right end.

Status: offline 		*sigh* yes, he's a pain.  He wants a summary of all email going to a certain distro group so I have it journaled to a mailbox.  I've tried creating a report using get-messagetracking but it is incomplete (example):

$StartDate = (get-date).AddDays(-32)
$EndDate = (get-date).AddDays(-1)
get-messagetrackinglog -Recipients:mailbox@domain.com -Server "exchange1" -Start $StartDate -End $EndDate | format-table Timestamp,MessageSubject,Sender > C:\Scripts\Results\myReport.txt

This report only picks up about 75% of the messages for some reason, which is a bummer because that would solve my problem.

Thanks for your help, any suggestions?
