You can use the following values: `OpenPreviousItem` `OpenNextItem` `ReturnToView` The default value is `OpenNextItem`.
AlwaysShowBcc	Optional	System.Boolean	The AlwaysShowBcc parameter specifies whether the blind carbon copy (bcc) field will always appear in the message compose form for the specified mailbox. The default value is `$false`.
AlwaysShowFrom	Optional	System.Boolean	The AlwaysShowFrom parameter specifies whether the From field will always appear in the message compose form for the specified mailbox. The default value is `$false`.
AutoAddSignature	Optional	System.Boolean	The AutoAddSignature parameter specifies whether to set the provided email signature to be automatically included in messages sent from the specified mailbox. The default value is `$false`.
AutoAddSignatureOnMobile	Optional	System.Boolean	The AutoAddSignatureOnMobile parameter specifies whether to set the provided email signature to be automatically included in messages sent from the specified mailbox when using a mobile device. The default value is `$false`.
CheckForForgottenAttachments	Optional	System.Boolean	The CheckForForgottenAttachments parameter specifies whether users see a reminder prompt when they try to send a message that includes a reference to a file they intended to attach to a message, but didn't attach it yet. This value is set to `$true` by default. For example, when this value is set to `$true`, if the text of an email message includes the text "Please see the attached Word document", and the message doesn't yet have a file attached, upon clicking Send, the user is prompted with a reminder dialog box that allows them to go back to the message and attach a file, or ignore the message and proceed with sending the mail. If this value is set to `$false`, users don't see a reminder prompt when the text of an email message they intend to send suggests that they're going to attach a file.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.
ConversationSortOrder	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.Management.ConversationSortOrder	The ConversationSortOrder parameter specifies the sorting of messages in the reading pane when viewed in Conversation mode. Possible values are as follows: `Chronological` `Tree` `NewestOnTop` `NewestOnBottom` `ChronologicalNewestOnTop` `ChronologicalNewestOnBottom` `TreeNewestOnBottom` The default value is `NewestOnTop`.
DefaultFontColor	Optional	System.String	The DefaultFontColor parameter specifies the font color of the text composed in the message form for the specified mailbox. The parameter accepts a hexadecimal color code value in the format of "#xxxxxx." If the string value provided is unrecognized, the browser application uses a default font color to display the text.
DefaultFontFlags	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.Management.FontFlags	The DefaultFontFlags parameter specifies the font effect on the text composed in the message form for the specified mailbox. Accepted values are as follows: `Normal` `Bold` `Italic` `Underline` `All` The default value is `Normal`, which means none of the effects are selected.
DefaultFontName	Optional	System.String	The DefaultFontName parameter specifies the font type for the text composed in the message form for the specified mailbox. If the string value provided is unrecognized, the browser application uses a default font type to display the text.
DefaultFontSize	Optional	System.Int32	The DefaultFontSize parameter specifies the font size of the text composed in the message form for the specified mailbox. The minimum font size is 1 and the maximum font size is 7. The default value is 2.
DefaultFormat	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.Management.MailFormat	The DefaultFormat parameter specifies the default text format in the message compose form for the specified mailbox. Accepted values are `Html` and `PlainText`. The default value is `Html`.

EmailComposeMode	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.Management.EmailComposeMode	The EmailComposeMode parameter specifies whether users compose email replies in the preview pane of Microsoft Office Outlook Web App by default. This value is set to `inline` by default. For example, if this option is set to `inline`, when users select a message in their Inbox, and then click Reply, they compose the reply message in the preview pane of Outlook Web App. If this value is set to `SeparateForm`, when users select a message in their Inbox, and then click Reply, they compose the reply message in a new browser window. When composing a message in `inline` compose mode, users can click the window icon in the upper-right corner of the Outlook Web App preview pane to reply to the message in a separate window.
EmptyDeletedItemsOnLogoff	Optional	System.Boolean	The EmptyDeletedItemsOnLogoff parameter specifies whether to delete items from the Deleted Items folder of the specified mailbox upon logging out. The default value is `$false`.
HideDeletedItems	Optional	System.Boolean	The HideDeletedItems parameter specifies whether when messages in a conversation thread are deleted, they can be set to not display when Conversation View is selected. The default value is `$false`.
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.
NewItemNotification	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.Management.NewItemNotification	The NewItemNotification parameter specifies how to provide notification for the arrival of new items in the specified mailbox.

You can use the following values: `Delayed` `OnSelectionChange` `Never` The default value is `OnSelectionChange`.
PreviewMarkAsReadDelaytime	Optional	System.Int32	The PreviewMarkAsReadDelaytime parameter specifies the time in seconds to wait before marking an item as Read. The minimum value is 0, and the maximum value is 30. The default value is 5.
ReadReceiptResponse	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.Management.ReadReceiptResponse	The ReadReceiptResponse parameter specifies how to respond to requests for read receipts. You can use the following values: `DoNotAutomaticallySend` `AlwaysSend` `NeverSend` The default value is `DoNotAutomaticallySend`.
SendAddressDefault	Optional	System.String	This parameter applies to objects in the cloud-based service. It isn’t available for on-premises deployments. The SendAddressDefault parameter specifies the default From email address when users have POP, IMAP, or Hotmail subscriptions configured on their mailbox. Users can override the default From address when they create an email message in Outlook Web App. You can use one of the following values for the SendAddressDefault parameter: Blank, which is represented by the value `$null`. This indicates no default From address is specified. The user's primary email address. For example, bob@contoso.com. The GUID of a POP, IMAP, or Hotmail subscription that's configured on the user's mailbox. By default, no default From address is specified on the mailbox. When no default From address is specified, the default behavior is: The primary email address on the mailbox is used for all new messages. The To address of the incoming message is used as the From address for all replies or forwarded messages. You can find the available values for SendAddressDefault on a mailbox by running the command Get-SendAddress -Mailbox <mailbox>.
ShowConversationAsTree	Optional	System.Boolean	The ShowConversationAsTree parameter specifies how to sort messages in the list view in an expanded conversation. The default value is `$false`.
SignatureHtml	Optional	System.String	The SignatureHtml parameter specifies that the email signature message contains HTML tags. Any JavaScript code is removed when saving the value.
