Usage statistics are summaries of account usage and are displayed as graphs. Statistics are available at the company, domain, and user levels, and can be viewed as a summary in graphical format, or as detailed snapshots in CSV format.
Snapshots provide very detailed information about every user in a domain or company for a specific time period, for example, the account type, the quota size, the number of times the account was accessed, and the number of messages currently in the account. Snapshots are available at the Company and Domain levels and can be downloaded in CSV format or emailed daily to one or more email addresses.

Note: We do not recommend daily snapshots for large domains as the snapshot file may exceed the message size allowed by many SMTP servers.
Notes on snapshots
- Daily snapshots are generated for the previous day; daily snapshots expire after 31 days.
- Weekly snapshots are generated each Monday for the previous week; weekly snapshots expire after 1 year.
- Monthly snapshots are generated on the 1st of the month for the previous month; monthly snapshots never expire.
- Weekly and monthly snapshots contain per-day averages for usage-based statistics (number of messages received). To get the total for the week or month, simply multiply the per day average by the number of days in the period.
- For some values, the weekly and monthly snapshots just contain the last state of the mailbox (for example, if a mailbox was forwarded on the 30th, the monthly snapshot will show it in a forwarding state).
