More information

To determine the size of the mailbox, follow these steps:
  1. With the Win32 Console Application AppWizard, create a new Simple project and name it GetFolderSize.
  2. Open GetFolderSize.cpp. Paste the following code after
    #include "stdafx.h"
    						
    and replace the main function.
    // You need to link with Activeds.lib and Adsiid.lib. 
    
    #include <activeds.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    #define IMPORTOPTS no_namespace rename("EOF", "adoEOF")
    #import "c:\program files\common files\system\ado\msado15.dll" IMPORTOPTS

       return  hr;
    }
    					
  3. On the Project menu, click Settings, and then click the Link tab. In Object/Library Modules, add Activeds.lib and Adsiid.lib.
  4. Compile and build the project.
