Although im not a great user of VB any more there does seem to be a bit of a dirth of samples for those people who haven't made the leap to using C#. So here's something that might fill the void for a few people I've put a donwload of this code here the code itself looks like Imports ewsvbsamp.ews Imports System.Net Imports System.Net.Security Imports System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates Module Module1 Sub Main() Console.WriteLine(GetUnreadEmailCount("user@domain.com")) End Sub Public Function GetUnreadEmailCount(ByVal emailaddress As String) As Integer Dim UnreadCount As Integer = 0 ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = New RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(AddressOf ValidateCertificate) Dim esb As New ExchangeServiceBinding esb.RequestServerVersionValue = New RequestServerVersion esb.RequestServerVersionValue.Version = ExchangeVersionType.Exchange2007_SP1 esb.Crede...

The cool thing is this script now lets us answer a bunch of new questions such as Which users have given acess to paricular folders in their Mailbox to other people(including the default user which may mean the have unwillingly delegated access to everyone). And we ca...
