# Email Audit: How to find storage space for emails on your domain?

## Email Audit: How to find storage space for emails on your domain?

GAT+ is a powerful audit and security tool for Google Workspace. It provides admins with an extensive and detailed overview of their entire domain.

Email audit is one of the many features GAT+ offers, whereby Google Workspace admins can view all incoming and outgoing emails across their domain.

## Email audit

Run different reports for all emails coming into your domain.

### Email stats by the size of emails received/sent

Navigate to **GAT+ > Email > User statistics**

There you'll see Email stats for your domain users. You can see the **size of received and sent internal and external emails**

In "**User statistics,"** click on **Column visibility**and enable the fields.

- **Bytes received external**
- **Bytes received internally**
- **Bytes sent externally**
- **Bytes sent internally**

### Daily Email statistics

Select a user and pick a date.

- **User statistics** - navigate to User statistics
- **Daily statistics** - click on Daily statistics
  - **Select user and Date** > **Filter data**

The result will show the user and the number of bytes sent/received for **internal and external** emails for the chosen day.

### Monthly Email audit report

The Admin can also apply a more extensive filter for a longer period of time.

Per month, for example.

- **Apply a filter** in **User statistics**
- **Type** - change type to **Stats by date range and users **
- Date from - enter date from
- Date to - enter date to
- Local user - enter local user, group, or org. unit
- **Scheduled** - click to set up a Scheduled report (optional)
- Apply - run the filter

#### Result of the monthly data

You can see the **chosen user and all the data (bytes) sent/received by internal/external users.**

The "Email" will show the user from whom the email was sent or received.

- `supplier@vendorcompany.net` (External Sender)
- `jdoe@yourdomain.com` (Internal Recipient)
- `newsletters@mailinglist.info` (External Sender)

### FAQ

Q1: What's the difference between **Bytes received internal** and **Bytes received external** in the User Statistics report?

**A1:** **Bytes received internal** reflects the total size (in bytes) of emails received by the user **from another account within your same Google Workspace domain**.

**Bytes received external** reflects the total size of emails received by the user **from any email address outside of your Google Workspace domain** (e.g., from Gmail, Outlook, etc.).
