Email/Attachment Size and Age Analysis Tool

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has come across a utility / tool that will analyse all of the mail files on a server and produce reports with stats on emails / attachments size and age.

End goal is to produce some stats on how much disk space could be recovered by implementing various archiving strategies (i.e. emails/attachments older than x months)

Something like the reclamation statistics reports in products like MailAttender and ZipMail.

Not sure if that makes sense and I am about to write some lotusscript myself to do it but would appreciate any suggestions of third party products etc. that may already do the same to save me the effort if you know of any.

Thanks, Paul

The only public reference I could find is: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp3802.pdf

IBM My Attachments tool

The My Attachments tool provides a mechanism to identify and manage attachments in a

user’s mail database or any other database for which the user has edit capabilities.

Attachments in selected documents can then be moved to a repository database of the user’s

choice, typically residing on the user’s local hard drive. Compacting the local database frees

space occupied by the attachments. Server-based mail files are compacted weekly and

should not be initiated by end users. Because this application only stores a single copy of a

particular attachment and can remove all occurrences of the attachment from the source

database, considerable savings in disk space can be realized. Subsequent moves of the

same attachment will delete the attachment from the analyzed database and point to the

attachment copy already in the repository.
