In Outlook, you can have 3 sets of folders: top-level which is your mailbox
items that come canned with the application (Inbox, Deleted Items, Sent
Items, Calendar, etc), Public Folders and in between, Personal Folders. When
running the scan, you can see each mailboxes' folders (Inbox, Sent Items,
Deleted Items, etc) being scanned. There are about 13 on the average for
each user mailbox. Some mailboxes, as they were being scanned, had within
these top-level folders, subfolders like: Inbox - my personal stuff, Inbox -
collections, Inbox - >>>, and the list went on. The folders were not only
limited to the Inbox.
We instruct our users to go to Options, Personal Folders and to point to
their home drive if they want to "hoard" mail. Some of these users have
obviously not done this and I'd like to find out who they are so we can get
this corrected. This scan took us a total of about 30 hours because we only
use 1 Exchange server. I'm hoping this will finally convince the powers that
be to let us purchase a 2nd Exchange server where we can split Exchange off.

If I read the question correctly, you scanned the server and
saw other
folders in their mailbox. How did you do this? If you saw
folders on the
Exchange server, then what you saw were not PST files. And
PST files do
not
prompt with a warning about running out of disk space. Can
you please
clarify what you are seeing?

Subject: # of folders in mailboxes
Does anyone know if there is a way to run some kind of a
report on
Exchange
that will tell me how many personal folders were created in
each user's
mailbox? We are running Exchange 5.5, sp3 on 1 server and
Outlook 98.
While
running a scan on our server, I noticed some users had
folders they'd
created under their Inbox or somewhere within their mailbox.
We want to
notify these people that we want them to point their
Personal Folders to
their Home drives and not on the C:\drive. Some of these
people are
usually
pretty obvious because they constantly complain about
running out of
mail
space.
Thanks....
