I use Windows search feature to search the Users folder and include subfolders.  You can specify a starting date and the results are displayed in a standard Explorer window which can then be sorted by "modified" date.  I use this to find old unused mailboxes and also to find the email hoarders with excessivly large mailboxes.  You can't build a database from it but it is a quick and easy way to check the status and effect changes.

Subject: [IMail Forum] mailboxes that have not been used in a long time?

After the KB search I've come away with this:

You can use the DOS dir command to show you all the main.mbx files:

C:\IMAIL> dir /s main.mbx

(You can use the /p switch to see a page at a time. Or you can redirect
the display to a file: C:\IMAIL> dir /s main.mbx > afile.txt)
 

it does generate a huge text file... is there any way to out put this to
a DB or something useful that can be sorted by date and or size?

TIA - Marc
