Search accoss all mailboxes in Exchange 2007

I need to search for emails that have keywords in the subject line on our Exchange 2007 server. I tried the folowing PowerShell command but it gives me errors stating that it cannot create the folder exportedemail:

et-mailbox -server NameofMailboxServer | export-mailbox -TargetMailbox "NameofMailboxtoImportInto" -targetFolder exportedmail -SenderKeyWords "someone@somewhere.com"

I am trying to get the results in my mailbox, so I created the exportedemail folder, but it errors saying that it cannot be created. I have a few stores, do I need to tell it which store? Thanks

You have permission issue. First apply the permission and then try again. Same question, i have answered earlier. check it below

Is this the correct syntax for the permissions?

Get-Mailbox -Server EXCHSVR01 | Add-MailboxPermission -User Admin01 -AccessRights Fullaccess -InheritanceType all

then should I run the same command as above?

Will copies of the emails it finds be kept on the server as well as exported into the specified folder?

I am looking for someones name in the subject line of any email sent to anyone within our organization. Is my search command correct?

Get-mailbox -server NameofMailboxServer | export-mailbox -TargetMailbox "NameofMailboxtoImportInto" -targetFolder exportedmail -SenderKeyWords "someone@somewhere.com"

Also how far back does it search, I am guessing the entire mailbox and all respective folders of that mailbox? Does it do every store on the server?

I got it to work. Is there an option to have it look for a certain string in the body of an email? Thanks
