Search all Exchange 2010 mailbox for emails sent and received from a specific email address

Question

_{Tuesday, January 17, 2012 6:12 PM}

Hello everyone,

I have been tasked to find out if there is a way to search all mailboxes on our Exchange 2010 database(s) for any email messages** 'sent or received'** from a specific email address ([email protected])? I didn't see anything in the management console but I thought maybe the management shell ahd that option.

Thank you in advance.

This looks good, infact I just went through the Exchange training and remember working with this, just alot less from the lab exercise.

Thank you.

I do not understand why people link to another website when you cannot know how long that website will keep that article.  Why not post the contents and credit the originating site and then link to that site afterwards.  This link:

Does not work Thanks for the hopes of checking a solution.

Well for a few reasons

1. Its easier

2. Wanting to promote a solution and the writer via link is more efficient for all

3. Some articles contain allot of formatting which can be difficult to reproduce
