I am running Exchange 2003.

My company is using public folders to store emails for several hundred
clients.  My users are simply dragging and dropping email from thier inbox
into the respective public folder.  I am trying to find a easy way to report
on what user is putting the most email in the public fodlers.  Is there a way
to do this? 

Thanks for the help!

I don't recall if any third party providers have such a solution but you can
most likely Google to see if one is available but nothing native to Exchange
2003.  I would also suggest for future planning that you at some point look
at Office Sharepoint Server as it provides much better collaboration for
Shared Document storage.  It easily integrates into Outlook 2007 and looks
just like Public Folders from the end user standpoint.  It also has more
reporting capabilities on the end user front.  Some food for thought.

You could set each mailbox to deliver to their respective Public
Folder (PF). Then to get the count just look at the PF count.

This would avoid the clients having to drop the messages in for
what they receive. However, it will not show any outgoing...

A bit more automation than current process.
