Can Messages be delivered to a mailbox and not be recorded in the message tracking log.?
My assumption is that the answer to the question in the subject is no but I'm asking anyway. The server is Exchange 2007 SP2. We have a group of users with access to a mailbox that is used by an application. They have to move messages received in this mailbox to another for automated processing for now as there is a bug in the application that requires they screen messages before they are processed for now. Over teh last two days the users have reported messages appearing in this mailbox that they claim they didn't move to the mailbox. I'm skeptical as all the messages in question are ones sent from members of the group and one or more of the recipients are in this group. I've run Message tracking and there nothing in the log showing these messages were delivered to this mailbox. Message tracking for the mailbox shows no messages delivered to this mailbox over the last 2 days. I told our Managers that we were using our secret mail cloaking device that delivers messages without being detected, one enjoyed my sense of humor the other one not so much. Can items copies and moves to the mailbox be logged by turning up a diagnostic logging category?

I trust message tracking more than I trust users. Therefore if everything is tracking correctly, I would have to agree with your initial assessment. The only way a message could get in to a mailbox without message tracking logging it would be a direct copy and paste (so two mailboxes open and the item pasted in to a folder). A copy and paste operation between mailboxes wouldn't appear in message tracking. Simon.Simon Butler, Exchange MVP Blog | Exchange Resources

Moving/copying messages between mailboxes isn't going to be recorded because the message really isn't being sent, just copied. But if you track the message-id you'll see where the message was from and to where it was delivered. >Message tracking for the mailbox shows no messages delivered to this mailbox over the last 2 days.
