The EmailAddresses parameter specifies the email alias of the mail user. All valid Exchange email address types may be used. You can specify multiple values for the EmailAddresses parameter as a comma-delimited list.

Important:
Exchange doesn't validate custom addresses for proper formatting. You must ensure that the custom address you specify complies with the format requirements for that address type. Because X.400 addresses are considered custom addresses in Exchange, they're also not validated, and you must provide the correct syntax when specifying an X.400 address.

The ForceUpgrade parameter suppresses the following confirmation: "To save changes on object <object name>, the object must be upgraded to the current Exchange version. After the upgrade, this object cannot be managed by an earlier version of the Exchange Management Tools. Do you want to continue to upgrade and save the object?" This confirmation occurs when you upgrade a mail user that was created in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. You can't manage an Exchange 2003 mail user by using the Exchange Administration Center until you update the object's version.

IgnoreDefaultScope

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The IgnoreDefaultScope parameter instructs the command to ignore the default recipient scope setting for the Exchange Management Shell session and use the entire forest as the scope. This allows the command to access Active Directory objects that aren't currently in the default scope. Using the IgnoreDefaultScope parameter introduces the following restrictions:

  • You can't use the DomainController parameter. The command uses an appropriate global catalog server automatically.

  • You can only use the DN for the Identity parameter. Other forms of identification, such as alias or GUID, aren't accepted.

ImmutableId

Optional

System.String

The ImmutableId parameter is used by Outlook Live Directory Sync (OLSync) and specifies a unique and immutable identifier in the form of an SMTP address for an Exchange mailbox that's used for federated delegation when requesting Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) tokens. If federation is configured for this mailbox and you don't set this parameter when you create the mailbox, Exchange will create the value for the immutable ID based upon the mailbox's ExchangeGUID and the federated account namespace, for example, 7a78e7c8-620e-4d85-99d3-c90d90f29699@mail.contoso.com. You must set the ImmutableId parameter if Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is deployed to allow single sign-on into off-premises mailboxes and AD FS is configured to use a different attribute than ExchangeGUID for sign-on token requests. Both, Exchange and AD FS must request the same token for the same user to ensure proper functionality for cross-premise Exchange organizations.

LitigationHoldDate

Optional

System.DateTime

The LitigationHoldDate parameter specifies the date when the mailbox is placed on litigation hold. The parameter is populated automatically when placing a mailbox on litigation hold. This can be used for informational or reporting purposes.

Note:
When using the Exchange Management Shell to place the mailbox on litigation hold, you can optionally specify any date as the LitigationHoldDate, but the mailbox is placed on litigation hold when the cmdlet is run.

LitigationHoldEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The LitigationHoldEnabled parameter specifies that the mailbox is under litigation hold and that messages can't be deleted from the user's account. The two possible values for this parameter are $true or $false. The default value is $false. After a mailbox is placed on litigation hold, deleted items and all versions of changed items are retained in the Recoverable Items folder. Items that are purged from the dumpster are also retained and the items are held indefinitely. If you enable litigation hold, single-item recovery quotas aren't applied.

LitigationHoldOwner

Optional

System.String

The LitigationHoldOwner parameter specifies the user who placed the mailbox on litigation hold. The parameter is populated automatically when placing a mailbox on litigation hold. This can be used for informational and reporting purposes.

Note:
When using the Shell to place a mailbox on litigation hold, you can optionally specify a string value for this parameter.

MacAttachmentFormat

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Recipient.MacAttachmentFormat

The MacAttachmentFormat parameter specifies the Apple Macintosh operating system attachment format for messages sent to the mail user. The valid values for this parameter are:

  • BinHex

  • UuEncode

  • AppleSingle

  • AppleDouble

By default, this parameter is set to BinHex.

The acceptable values for the MacAttachmentFormat parameter are dependent on the MessageFormat parameter. If the MessageFormat parameter is set to Text, you can only use BinHex or UuEncode values for this parameter. If the MessageFormat parameter is set to Mime, you can only use BinHex, AppleSingle, or AppleDouble values for this parameter.

MailTip

Optional

System.String

The MailTip parameter specifies the message displayed to senders when they start drafting an email message to this recipient. The MailTip parameter message must be less than or equal to 250 characters.

MailTipTranslations

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty

The MailTipTranslations parameter specifies additional languages when you want to provide the MailTip parameter information for this recipient in multiple languages. For each language, you must provide the locale, followed by a colon and the specific MailTip parameter message in that language. Each MailTipTranslations parameter message must be less than or equal to 250 characters. Multiple languages can be separated by commas.

MaxReceiveSize

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The MaxReceiveSize parameter specifies the maximum size of email messages that can be received by the mail user, from 1 kilobyte (KB) through 2,097,151 KB.

If not specified, there are no size restrictions.

MaxSendSize

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The MaxSendSize parameter specifies the maximum size of email messages that can be sent by the mail user, from 1 KB through 2,097,151 KB.

If not specified, there are no size restrictions.

MessageBodyFormat

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Recipient.MessageBodyFormat

The MessageBodyFormat parameter specifies the message body format for messages sent to the mail user. The valid values for this parameter are:

  • Text

  • Html

  • TextAndHtml

By default, this parameter is set to TextAndHtml.

The MessageFormat and MessageBodyFormat parameters are interdependent. If the MessageFormat parameter is set to Mime, the MessageBodyFormat parameter can be set to any valid value. However, if the MessageFormat parameter is set to Text, the MessageBodyFormat parameter can only be set to Text. Therefore, if you want to set this parameter to Html or TextAndHtml, you must also set the MessageFormat parameter to Mime.

MessageFormat

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Recipient.MessageFormat

The MessageFormat parameter specifies the message format for messages sent to the mail user.

The valid values for this parameter are:

  • Text

  • Mime

By default, this parameter is set to Mime.

The MessageFormat and MessageBodyFormat parameters are interdependent. If the MessageFormat parameter is set to Mime, the MessageBodyFormat parameter can be set to any valid value. However, if the MessageFormat parameter is set to Text, the MessageBodyFormat parameter can only be set to Text. Therefore, if you want to change the MessageFormat parameter from Mime to Text, you must also change the MessageBodyFormat parameter to Text.
