Hi all

I am using MS outlook 2003 and Exchange server. Is there a way of
determining how much space my mailbox is taking? (not just individual items
but a total for all mail). We have a set space we can use and I want to know
how much I have left or at least how much I have used.

Any help greatly appreciated

Hello,

Can I ask if there is a way of finding this out without visiting the PC? We
have to move 100+ users to a new building and need to know how big their
mailboxes are (which are stored on local drives). We're not using Exchange.

Thanks,

Without exchange, you need to "visit" the local computer, either in person
or using a script to read the file size of the pst (s). If users moved their
pst from the default folder, you'll need to read the registry to find out
where it is.

Hi Diane,

Many thanks for the information. I think we might resort to a script to do a
"dir *.pst /s". Ugly but should do the trick.
