How can one find emails from or to an email address in Exchange 2007, without 3rd party software?

If you are a domain admin, you should try this out.

In Outlook 2002 or 2003:

On the Tools menu, click E-Mail Accounts.
In the E-Mail Accounts dialog box, click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.
Click Microsoft Exchange Server in the service box, and then click Change.
For the Exchange Server Settings, click More Settings.
On the Advanced tab, click Add.
In the Add Mailbox box, type the name of the mailbox owner.
Click OK twice.


In Outlook 2007:

On the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
Select and double-click on the email account you would like to change.
Click on More Settings.
Select the Advanced tab.
Click Add to open another mailbox
In the Add Mailbox box, type the name of the mailbox owner.
Click OK twice.

Remember one thing. When doing the above only open up no more than one or 2 mailboxes at a time. This is because EXCHANGE 2007 limits the no. of server objects a MAPI Client can hold at any one time.

I don't see how this solves my problem.  I don't want to change an email address, I want to search the entire Exchange Database for emails to and from a certain external email address.  I am not seeing this as an outlook feature, I see this as something I'm asking Exchange to do.  I may be way off base, but I don't want to search 500 mailboxes one at a time, I want to search everything once.  Does that explain things better?

Since you are having an ONGOING lawsuit make sure that your hide that particular JOURNAL (Archive) user from your global address list so that people do not get suspicious.
