Mailboxes are the most common recipient type used by information workers in an Exchange organization. Each mailbox is associated with an Active Directory user account. The user can use the mailbox to send and receive messages, and to store messages, appointments, tasks, notes, and documents. You can also use mailboxes for resources such as meeting rooms and equipment. Mailboxes are the primary messaging and collaboration tools for the users in your organization. To learn more about mailboxes, see Understanding Recipients.

What Do You Want to Do?
Use the EMC to view or configure user mailbox properties
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Provisioning Recipient Permissions" section in the Mailbox Permissions topic.
Properties specific to a mailbox user are controlled by the Set-Mailbox cmdlet. The EMC allows you to set additional properties and the permissions may vary depending upon the feature that you're configuring. The permissions listed above grant permission to edit all of the properties of the < User Mailbox> Properties dialog box.
- In the console tree, navigate to Recipient Configuration
> Mailbox.
- In the result pane, select the user or resource mailbox you
want to configure.
- In the action pane, click Properties.
- Use the General
tab to view or modify the following settings:
- Display name Use this unlabeled box at
the top of the page to view or change the display name.
- Organizational unit This read-only
field displays the organizational unit (OU) that contains the user
account.
- Last logged on by This read-only field
displays the Active Directory user that last logged on to the
mailbox.
Note: To obtain the information that's displayed in this field, the Exchange Management Console (EMC) queries the mailbox database that hosts the mailbox. If the EMC is unable to communicate with the Exchange store that contains the mailbox database, this field will be blank. This field will also be blank if no user has logged on to the mailbox since the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service was last started. - Total items This read-only field
displays the total number of items in the mailbox.
Note: To obtain the information that's displayed in this field, the EMC queries the mailbox database that hosts the mailbox. If the EMC is unable to communicate with the Exchange store that contains the mailbox database, this field will be blank. - Size (KB) This read-only field displays
the total size of the mailbox in kilobytes (KB).
Note: To obtain the information that's displayed in this field, the EMC queries the mailbox database that hosts the mailbox. If the EMC is unable to communicate with the Exchange store that contains the mailbox database, this field will be blank. - Mailbox database This read-only field

- Alias Use this text box to view or
change the user's alias. The alias cannot exceed 64 characters and
must be unique in the forest. One of the reasons why the alias must
be unique is because it is used to generate the SMTP address in a
default installation.

Set-Mailbox -Identity John -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $true -ForwardingAddress jose@contoso.com |
This example uses the Get-Mailbox command to find all the mailboxes in the Marketing organizational unit, and then uses the Set-Mailbox command to configure these mailboxes. The custom warning, prohibit send, and prohibit send and receive limits are set to 200 megabytes (MB), 250 MB, and 280 MB respectively, and the mailbox database's default limits are ignored. This command can be used to configure a specific set of mailboxes to have larger or smaller limits than other mailboxes in the organization.
