Somebody asked a question the other week about getting all the Folder Sizes via EWS which you can do easily using the PR_MESSAGE_SIZE_EXTENDED property and FindFolders operation (you can also get the folder size's using the Exchange Management Shell via Get-MailboxFolderStatistics cmdlet). But there is some other interesting stuff you can get via EWS that you can't from the EMS cmdlet such as the Default FolderClass (eg the PR_CONTAINER_CLASS_W http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/cc839839(v=office.15).aspx) which will tell you what items are being stored in that particular Folder (although as documented it's not a mandatory property although its absence in the past has caused problem in OWA etc). Another property that looks interesting but doesn't seem to be well documented is the PR_ATTACH_ON_NORMAL_MSG_COUNT which appears to the be the total number of attachments on messages in that folder including seemly inline attachment (Note I can't confirm this as it doesn't appear to be documented and can only give anecdotal test results so do your own testing if your interested in this).
So with all these interesting properties you can put together a different type of Mailbox statistics script that will grab Folder stats by FolderClass and show the following info about a mailbox
![]()
I've put a download of this script here to run this script enter the EmailAddress of the mailbox you want to run it against and It will will output a CSV to the c:\temp directory the code itself looks like
