Selecting Inbox Folder Regardless of Mailbox Language in VEX

[deniz.oezdemir]

Hello,

I need to export the inbox for all users in an organization. However, not every user is using English as their mailbox language.
For example:

• For English mailboxes, this works:

  Code: Select all

   Get-VexFolder -Mailbox $vex -Name "Inbox"

• But for German mailboxes, I need to use:

  Code: Select all

    Get-VexFolder -Mailbox $vex -Name "Posteingang"

Since there are users with different mailbox languages (not just English and German), the folder name varies depending on the language.
How can I reliably select the Inbox folder regardless of the mailbox language?

Here is the relevant part of my script:

Code: Select all

$vex = Get-VEXMailbox -Database $database | Where-Object Email -eq "$email"
Get-VexFolder -Mailbox $vex -Name "Inbox"
Export-VEXItem -Folder $item -To $target

I’m looking for a way to target the Inbox folder independent of its localized name.

Hi Deniz,

There's no detection by language in the product, and from the VB365 standpoint, Inbox is just a folder name which should be specified like any other custom folder name. With that, there's no reliable way to automate the selection with the built-in capabilities.

Thanks!
