Good Afternoon Matt,
I apologize for the delay in my response, I was out after the holiday. I need to meet with my team to discuss the scope of your request and get back with you on specifics.

Please note that your request is very broad and could be costly. In accordance with the ITS Public Records Policy and Procedures, ITS must receive the initial fee of $70 to begin processing your custom request. We do not accept personal checks but we do have an On-Line Public Record Request Payment application that will allow a faster response to your request when payment is made online. The link is: https://www.ms.gov/its/public_record_request.

The initial $70 fee is to cover the first hour of staff time involved in evaluation and research of the request. This payment is non-refundable and is applied toward the total cost of filling the public records request. ITS will provide you a cost estimate of additional charges for fulfilling your public records request after we know what can specifically be provided.

I recommend you review the ITS Public Records Policy and Procedures for further information, it is located in the Procurement Handbook (Page 154) on the ITS website. http://www.its.ms.gov/Pages/default.aspx

I will be back in touch.
Sincerely,

Jeanette Crawford

Neat! Here you go:

0. Username must have access to search and export eDiscovery reports. If not, your IT department should have access to either grant the required permissions, or run through these steps themselves.
1. From Internet Explorer, log into https://protection.office.com/.
2. Navigate to "Search & Investigation" -> "eDiscovery" and create a new case.
3. Open the case, then create a new search through "Search" -> "New search"
4. Add a "Type" condition and select, "E-mail messages".
5. Under "Locations" -> "Specific locations" -> "Modify...".
6. Toggle the location that includes "Exchange email" and click "Save".
7. Click "Save & run" and give the search a name.
8. Navigate to "More" -> "Export results", then select the following options:
-Output options: "All items, excluding [...]"
-Export Exchange content as: "Individual messages"
9. Navigate to Export -> "[Name of export]_Export".
10. Click "Download results" and launch the "Unified Export Tool".
11. Paste the export page's "Export key" into the tool's key field.
12. Choose a save location and click "Start"
13. Open "results.csv" from the saved location.
14. Delete all columns that are not the requested metadata and save.

(Please note that depending on the size of the csv files, this may need to be done in batches through the use of a date or sender/receiver conditional within the search query. Similar can be said about filtering down to just your office's department's email addresses.)
