Thanks. I'll just have to incorporate the current FAI's into my script for now. I don't fancy learning EWS at the moment :)

Sent from my Windows Phone ________________________________ From: Sobey, Richard A Sent: 1/29/2013 12:31 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: The true number of messages in a folder I've been asked to write a very simple script to monitor the number of items in the Inbox of a particular mailbox, and email an alert if this number goes above a threshold. Works perfectly. The problem is, using Outlook, the Inbox is empty. Using Get-MailboxFolderStatistics, there are 10 items in the mailbox. (Using my own mailbox as another example, Outlook says 8257, Powershell says 8340). I understand there could be hidden messages, or other things that may contribute to this, but is there any way I can query the number of actual messages that the user would see?
