I can use this script to read email in my own account. It works great. But if I specify an admin account (a4327) to read emails in another mailbox $findResults still displays emails from my mailbox.

How do i get the script to read emails from a different mailbox

Here is my code:

`&lt;span class="pln"&gt;$Userid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="str"&gt;"a4327"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt;
$pass_secure &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="typ"&gt;Get&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;Content&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="str"&gt;"e:\cred_a4327.txt"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="pun"&gt;|&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="typ"&gt;ConvertTo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;SecureString&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt;
$credential &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt; new&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt;object &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt;typename &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;System&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;Management&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;Automation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;PSCredential&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="pun"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt;argumentlist $Userid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt; $pass_secure
$password &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt; $credential&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;GetNetworkCredential&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt;password
$dllpath &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="str"&gt;"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange\Web Services\2.2\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll"&lt;/span&gt;

$service &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt; new&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt;object &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;Microsoft&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;Exchange&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;WebServices&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;Data&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pun"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="typ"&gt;ExchangeService&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pln"&gt;

Do you have permissions for this other mailbox? I don’t even want to try and read through that code. Is there any specific reason you’re trying to get it from exchange web services instead of say Outlook?
