There is nothing directly pertaining to Exchange inbox's, however, this may be able to be queried via Windows perfmon performance counters, have you looked into that yet? There are quite a few options from what I saw on Google, I suggest you take a look and find one that suits your needs. You can then add the counter as a service check by following the Windows Server monitoring wizard.

Thank you for the reply
I did check the perfmon counters but its all exchanged related.
I want to check number of messages in a specific user inbox / mailbox. May be we need to write a own custom plugin?

You can check out some of the plugins on the Nagios Exchange:

http://exchange.nagios.org/index.php?op ... 20messages

get some ideas, and write your own plugin. Here's the Nagios Plugins Development Guidelines doc:

You can also contact our sales team at [email protected] and request a quote for custom development.

Hope this helps.
