Question : Search all messages and mailboxes

Hello all,

I need to search all my exchange mailboxes for message sent to and from a certain user. I also would like to be able to search all the messages for keywords. Can anyone outline a way to complete this task?

Answer : Search all messages and mailboxes

Message tracking will work if you had it enabled, but it will not allow you to search the mailboxes for a keyword. For that you will need to use exmerge.

This MS article will give you a start with exmerge:

There are others - Google for them as exmerge is a very common tool that most Exchange administrators are familiar with.
