Using Find Items

To run Find Items

1. Start Find Items. A logon form is displayed, as the file findmsg.asp sets up the screen and opens an initial CDO session.
2. Enter the name of your Microsoft Exchange server and the name of your mailbox on that server. Click OK or press Enter.
3. The Authentication dialog box is displayed. In the Username text box, enter your Microsoft® Windows NT® domain and account name separated with a backslash (no spaces), for example southwest\johnd. In the Password text box, type your Microsoft® Windows NT® password. Click OK or press Enter. The file fimid.asp displays the Find Items text boxes at the top of the screen, while fimsgdef.asp displays directions below.
4. Enter information in one or more fields to restrict your search. When specifying a person in the From or Sent To field, use the person's whole name, not the person's e-mail name. Fill in at least one of the first four fields. Now click Find. Fimid.asp submits this information to fimsg.asp, which renders messages in your Inbox that match the specified criteria; they are displayed in the lower half of your screen.
5. Clicking a displayed message link opens the message in a separate window. It is rendered by read.asp. The message is displayed in rich text, converted into HTML by the renderer.
6. Click Close to close the application window.
