Exchange 2010 : logging Public Folder mail deletion

Hi Experts,

I have to monitor message deletion inside a PF (find who deleted mesasges and at what time to be precise).

I found the Get-PublicFolderItemStatistics PS command but I don't know how to identify the user concerned for modification. It looks like that we can only see existant messages and not deleted ones.
I tried to activate PF logging in Exchange EMC (server config -> Properties -> Diagnostics Logging tab -> Services -> MSExchangeIS -> Public) but I do not know wich one to choose, maybe "Access Control", General and Views, but I do not know what does it is exactly...
I don't know where to search...

Thank you in advance for your help, best regards,

General -> Medium should be OK

Shell:
set-eventloglevel “msexchangeis/9001 public/general” -level medium

in sp2 it is possible to use “set diagnostic logging” in the action pane if you select the server object. This also works for Exchange 2010.

Thank you, I activated logging for the PF as you told me.

Could you please tell me in which log I can find the logged informations ?

Thanks again for your help !
'Application Log' is what you are looking for.
You simply mean the eventvwr 'Application Log' ?
If so, do you know which event ID to search for mail deletion ?

Thank you for your help Felix !
I was wrong sry, it is not possible to audit a public folder on item Level (mails etc.) you can only track the deletion of public folders.

Does mailbox audit logging work against public folders?

No. Not at this time.
So there is no way to know which user deleted a mail in a PF ?
If so, it is really bad from Microsoft because we can't know either the time at which the message was destroyed... and the Get-PublicFolderItemStatistics command don't show deleted messages isn't it ?

Thanks again for your help.
