You aren't looking for something to analyze the Exchange logs, you are
looking for something that will analyze the actual Server Event logs.
Understand that when working with Exchange, when someone refers to Exchange
log files, the first thing that comes to mind is the actual transaction logs
that Exchange uses to record the transactions (such as e-mail) that it
performs. Those won't tell you anything regarding which accounts are
accessing which mailboxes.
I'd recommend to first of all enable Diagnostics logging in Exchange to
allow it to capture logons. Once you have done that, you can look at
products that analyze event logs. To enable Diagnostics logging, go to the
properties of your server in ESM, then go to the Diagnostics logging tab.
Next, go to MSExchange IS, Mailbox, then on the right, set logging to a
higher level for Logons. This will then log when user accounts log in to
mailboxes, those event will be logged to the Application logs as events 1009
and 1011.
