Who has the largest inbox on the server
Which users have too many items in their Inbox
How much each user has sitting in their deleted Items folder
One of the Properties Get-Mailboxfolderstatitics also allows you to see is the age of the newest item in the folder. So this can come in handy if you’re looking for mailboxes that might no longer be in use because you will be able to see and compare both what the date of newest item is in their inbox and sent items folder.
The script itself reuses a lot of the code from the mailbox size GUI the main difference is that it loops through ever mailbox on the server you select and runs the Get-Mailboxfolderstatitics on each mailbox. The results are then loaded into a ADO.NET datatable and then a dataview of this table is used with different Row Fitlers to filter out the particular folders you want to look at. To come up with the list of selected folders a hash table is used during the initial table fill and if the same folder name is found 5 times it’s added to the list of selectable folders. If this selectable folders list becomes a bit unmanageable you could tweak this value. The export code has been carried over from the mailboxsize gui so this allows you to export the results to a CSV file.
To cater for mailbox server with more the 1000 mailbox the -ResultSize Unlimited is used with the get-mailbox cmdlet. Also the –IncludeOldestAndNewestItems is used with Get-Mailboxfolderstatitics to ensure that the folder datetimes are included. This is something that was changed in SP1 so to cater for this I created two versions of the script a pre sp1 and post sp1 version.
Because the Get-Mailboxfolderstatitics cmdlet takes a while to run if you have a large number of mailboxes this script can take some time to process. It does write out its progress to the powershell cmd window if your worried the script may have hung. By default it will show a comparison of the inbox folder if your using a localized version of Exchange that has the inbox name in the local language then it will show you a blank screen but the folder list should get populated with your localized foldernames and the rest of the code should work fine.
I’ve put a download of the script here the SP1 version looks like
