How to find the Document Library URL by its Email Address

Question

I have only the Email Address of the document library and have to find the exact location of the document library, is this something possible? If so, how?

Answer 1

As Eric said, you shouldn't be directly querying the database. I would recommend using the PowerShell to check CanReceiveEmail and EmailAlias properties of SPList to exactly find the list location. See the script below:

$SPsite = Get-SPSite "http://mysitecollection"
foreach($SPweb in $SPsite.AllWebs)  # get the collection of sub sites
{
    foreach ($SPList list in $SPweb.Lists)
    {
        if ( ($splist.CanReceiveEmail) -and ($SPlist.EmailAlias -eq "yourEmailAliasForList") )
        {
            WRITE-HOST "E-Mail: " $SPList.EmailAlias + “, List: ” + $SPlist.Title +”, Web: ” + $SPweb.Url
        }
    }
}

    /****** Script for SelectTopNRows command from SSMS  ******/
SELECT FullUrl      
  FROM [Prod].[dbo].[AllWebs]
  where
  id in (
  SELECT tp_WebId      
  FROM [Prod].[dbo].[AllLists]
  where tp_EmailAlias in ('xyz','abc')
  )
