Message Trace Older Than 90 Days

Copper Contributor

Hi all,

 

I need to find all the messages sent for a specific address over the last year.

Is there a way for this?

 

In Mail Flow > Trace, I can generate a report of 90 days.

Using PowerShell, the cmdlet Get-MessageTrace says that it is not available for older than 10 days.

 

I do not know if E-discovery or any other tool can be used for this purpose, if yes, please send me a ref for that. I tried to handle e-discovery but no success.

 

Thanks in advance

Message trace cannot extend over 90 days (you need to run a "historic" trace if over 10 days), and eDiscovery/Content search will only return data about items *currently* in a given mailbox. Here's a reference just in case: Search for content - Microsoft 365 Compliance | Microsoft Docs

Worked, perfect!

Thanks!

Is there any way to get the deleted emails using content search@__AlexXx__

I can find no information on a historic trace but OP thanked you and said it worked. Link you sent had no info on it. Please help!
