Estimate Matches
|
ScanMail searches
the Exchange environment and returns an estimated count and an estimated
size of the mailbox components that matched the search criteria. ScanMail does not copy
the matched items to the discovery mailbox.
Performing an
estimate search allows administrators to evaluate the effectiveness
of the search criteria before copying a large amount of data to
the discovery mailbox. If an estimated search returns an excessively
large number of matches, consider refining the search criteria to
target more specific matches.
