You can delete or remove a Unified Messaging (UM) mailbox policy. When you delete a UM mailbox policy, the UM mailbox policy will no longer be available to be associated to the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 recipients who are newly enabled for Unified Messaging. However, the UM mailbox policy can't be deleted if it's referenced by any UM-enabled mailboxes.
