Small correction to the above commands and the above command will give the total number of emails again.

Have the email address of the users in the csv file with the title "emailaddress"

$FinalArray = @()
foreach($user in import-csv "csvfilelocation"){
$emails = Get-Messagetrackinglog -Sender $user.emailaddress -start (get-date).adddays(-1) |select messageid -unique | measure-Object
$Obj = New-Object PSObject -Property @{
UserEmail = $user.emailaddress
EmailCount = $emails.count}
$FinalArray += $Obj
}
}
$FinalArray | Export-csv -path "resultscsvfilelocation" -NoTypeInformation

Instead of collecting data in vars and dumping those at the very end, it is much better to use the streaming features of PowerShell, in particular if there is a lot of data. That allows for better memory handling, and usually speeds up things.
Further, for a single property to read from a file we do not need to use a CSV format, a simple text file is enough.

get-content "Users.txt" | foreach {
  $cnt = (Get-Messagetrackinglog -Sender $_ -start (get-date).adddays(-1) |select messageid -unique | measure-Object).Count
  New-Object PSObject @{
    UserMail = $_
    EmailCount = $cnt
  }
} | export-csv -NoType "Result.csv"

Qlemo, I am getting this message when your script.

Unexpected token 'New-Object' in expression or statement.

+ get-content C:\xxxxx\xxxxxx_xxxxx\desktop\users.txt | foreach {$cn = (Get-Messagetrackinglog -Sender

You need to retain the line breaks as shown. The error message shows all or parts of the code are in a single line, which won't work.

I tried that and it's not doing anything, no errors or anything, just sits there like it's still running the command. I only have a few users in the text document right now for testing so I wouldn't think it would take that long.

Getting the tracking log can be time consuming. You will see results only at the very end, so restrict your test to a single user.

I changed it to just one user but it's doing the same thing. Here is exactly what I am using so you can see if I am doing something incorrectly.

get-content C:\Users.txt | foreach {
  $cnt = (Get-Messagetrackinglog -Sender $_ -start (get-date).adddays(-1) |select messageid -unique | measure-Object).Count
  New-Object PSObject @{
    UserMail = $_
    EmailCount = $cnt
  }
} | export-csv -NoType C:\Results.csv

That's correct. Let's try some debugging code:

get-content C:\Users.txt | foreach {
  Get-Messagetrackinglog -Sender $_ -start (get-date).adddays(-1)
  Get-Messagetrackinglog -Sender $_ -start (get-date).adddays(-1) |select messageid -unique
  (Get-Messagetrackinglog -Sender $_ -start (get-date).adddays(-1) |select messageid -unique | measure-Object).Count
}

This should allow to see whether there is anything executed, and the impact of the most important operations.

That said it can't find C:\users.txt
It is in that location.

I just deleted the users.txt and created a new one and ran it again and it worked.
It just has a category for Count and has a number, is there a way to tell how many are sent and how many are received?
I'm guessing this is just one or the other?

I actually just added a couple more users to the users.txt and tried it and it just shows the same number under "count" for all of them so I am not sure what that number is.
And is there a way to tell what users mailbox it is in the .csv?

I don't know why the counts should be the same for different users. The count should be shown for sent items only, and the username should be in the CSV already. To have the received count, we have to extend the code:

get-content "Users.txt" | foreach {
  $cntsent = (Get-Messagetrackinglog -Sender $_ -start (get-date).adddays(-1) |select messageid -unique | measure-Object).Count
  $cntrcvd = (Get-Messagetrackinglog -Recipient $_ -start (get-date).adddays(-1) |select messageid -unique | measure-Object).Count
  New-Object PSObject @{
    UserMail = $_
    EmailsSent = $cntsent
    EmailsRcvd = $cntrcvd
  }
} | export-csv -NoType "Result.csv"

Select all Open in new window

If you do not see a username in the "UserMail" column of Result.csv, that is the issue for getting the same counts for different user - there is a format/content error in users.txt, which should just contain one email address per line, and nothing else.

I've attached the results that I am getting...


My text file looks like this:

user@domain.com
user@domain.com
user@domain.com
Results.xlsx

That worked great!!
Thank you very much.

Would it be possible to create a column that would have the date in it?  
It would just need it to be there once since it's pulling all these counts from the day before.
So the report run on 5/22/2013 would have a date of 5/21/2013.  

They are getting emailed automatically and would be nice to know what days they are for.

Sure. We can either name the result file:

$dt = (get-date).adddays(-1)
get-content "Users.txt" | foreach {
  $cntsent = (Get-Messagetrackinglog -Sender    $_ -start $dt |select messageid -unique | measure-Object).Count
  $cntrcvd = (Get-Messagetrackinglog -Recipient $_ -start $dt |select messageid -unique | measure-Object).Count
  New-Object PSObject -Property @{
    UserMail = $_
    EmailsSent = $cntsent
    EmailsRcvd = $cntrcvd
  }
} | select UserMail, EmailsRcvd, EmailsSent | export-csv -NoType "Result."+(Get-Date($dt) -Format yyyyMMdd)+".csv"

or store the date in each row:

$dt = (get-date).adddays(-1)
get-content "Users.txt" | foreach {
  $cntsent = (Get-Messagetrackinglog -Sender    $_ -start $dt |select messageid -unique | measure-Object).Count
  $cntrcvd = (Get-Messagetrackinglog -Recipient $_ -start $dt |select messageid -unique | measure-Object).Count
  New-Object PSObject -Property @{
    UserMail   = $_
    EmailsSent = $cntsent
    EmailsRcvd = $cntrcvd
    Date       = $dt.Date
  }
} | select Date, UserMail, EmailsRcvd, EmailsSent | export-csv -NoType "Result.csv"

You rock, thank you!
