You can use the EMC and the Shell to set the calendaring options that are available on the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 server that has the IMAP4 service enabled.

These settings allow you to set different calendar options for your organization when you're using IMAP4 as the e-mail protocol for your users. You can use the CalendarItemRetrievalOption parameter for the Set-ImapSettings cmdlet in the Shell to set different calendar options.

The following table describes the CalendarItemRetrievalOption parameter for IMAP4 users.
