Use the Set-Mailbox cmdlet to modify the settings of an existing mailbox. You can use this cmdlet for one mailbox at a time. To perform bulk management, you can pipeline the output of various Get- cmdlets (for example, the Get-Mailbox or Get-User cmdlets) and configure several mailboxes in a single-line command. You can also use the Set-Mailbox cmdlet in scripts.

SmtpAddress
Alias

AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RecipientIdParameter[]

The AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom parameter specifies the mailbox users, mail users and mail contacts that can send e-mail messages to this mailbox. You can also specify Exchange as a valid recipient for this parameter. If you configure a mailbox to accept messages only from the Exchange recipient, it will only receive system-generated messages.

The AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom parameter can take any of the following values for the valid senders:

Distinguished name (DN)
Canonical name
GUID
Name
Display name
Alias

Primary SMTP e-mail address

By default, this parameter is blank. This default value enables the mailbox to accept messages from all senders.

AcceptMessagesOnlyFromDLMembers

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RecipientIdParameter[]

The AcceptMessagesOnlyFromDLMembers parameter specifies the distribution groups whose members are allowed to send e-mail messages to this mailbox. You can use any of the following values for the allowed distribution groups:

Distinguished name (DN)
Canonical name
GUID
Name
Display name
Legacy Exchange DN
Primary SMTP e-mail address.

By default, this parameter is blank. This default value enables the mailbox to accept messages from all senders.

ApplyMandatoryProperties

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Creating a Exchange 2007 mailbox through the Exchange 2003 extensions to the Active Directory Users and Computers console is not supported. If an Exchange 2007 mailbox is created with this tool, it will be identified as a legacy mailbox, even though it resides on an Exchange 2007 server. Use the ApplyMandatoryProperties parameter to modify the mandatory properties of a mailbox in this state to correct the problem and remove the legacyMailbox tag from the mailbox.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm parameter 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 parameter.

CreateDTMFMap

Optional

System.Boolean

This parameter specifies that a dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) map be created for the user.

CustomAttribute1

Optional

System.String

The CustomAttribute1 parameter specifies the value for the mailbox attribute CustomAttribute1.

Optional

System.String

The CustomAttribute9 parameter specifies the value for the mailbox attribute CustomAttribute9.

DeliverToMailboxAndForward

Optional

System.Boolean

The DeliverToMailboxAndForward parameter specifies whether messages sent to this mailbox will be forwarded to another address.

If DeliverToMailboxAndForward is set to $true, messages are delivered to the mailbox and to the forwarding address.

If set to $false, messages are delivered only to the forwarding address.

DisplayName

Optional

System.String

The DisplayName parameter specifies the display name for the user account associated with this mailbox. The display name is used by Microsoft Outlook.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller to use to write changes to Active Directory. Use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that you want to use.

DowngradeHighPriorityMessagesEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The DowngradeHighPriorityMessagesEnabled parameter prevents the mailbox from sending high priority messages to an X.400 mail system. If this parameter is set to $true and the mailbox sends a high priority message destined to an X.400 mail system, the message priority is changed to normal priority.

EmailAddresses

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ProxyAddressCollection

The EmailAddresses parameter specifies all the proxy addresses of the mailbox. It includes the primary Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) address as one of the proxy addresses.

If you use this parameter, you cannot use the PrimarySMTPAddress parameter.

Important:
Exchange 2007 does not 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 2007, they are also not validated and you must provide the correct syntax when specifying an X.400 address.

EmailAddressPolicyEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The EmailAddressPolicyEnabled parameter specifies whether the e-mail address policy for this mailbox is enabled. The two possible values for this parameter are $true or $false.

This parameter specifies one or more extension numbers for the user. When the parameter is set, all extension numbers within the dial plan must be unique.

ExternalOofOptions

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Recipient.ExternalOofOptions

The ExternalOofOptions parameter specifies the option for sending an Out of Office message to external senders. You can use the following values:

External
InternalOnly

ForwardingAddress

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RecipientIdParameter

GrantSendOnBehalfTo

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxOrMailUserIdParameter[]

The GrantSendOnBehalfTo parameter specifies the distinguished name (DN) of other mailboxes that can send messages on behalf of this mailbox.

HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled parameter specifies whether this mailbox is hidden from other address lists. The two possible values for this parameter are $true or $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 and use the entire forest as the scope. This allows the command to access Active Directory objects that are not currently in the default scope. Using the IgnoreDefaultScope parameter introduces the following restrictions:

You cannot use the DomainController parameter. The command will use 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, are not accepted.

Instance

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Management.Mailbox

The Instance parameter enables you to pass an entire object to the command to be processed. It is mainly used in scripts where an entire object must be passed to the command.

IssueWarningQuota

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The IssueWarningQuota parameter specifies the mailbox size at which a warning message is sent to the user.

You must specify either an integer or "unlimited."

If you set this attribute on a mailbox, that mailbox setting overrides the value that is set for this attribute on the mailbox database.

Languages

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty

The Languages parameter specifies the language preferences for this mailbox, in order of preference. Several Exchange components display information to a mailbox user in the preferred language, if that language is supported. Some of those components include quota messages, non-delivery reports (NDRs), Microsoft Outlook Web Access user interface, and Unified Messaging (UM) voice prompts.

LinkedCredential

Optional

System.Management.Automation.PSCredential

The LinkedCredential parameter specifies credentials to use to access the domain controller specified by the LinkedDomainController parameter.

LinkedDomainController

Optional

System.String

The LinkedDomainController parameter specifies the domain controller in the forest where the user account resides, if this mailbox is a linked mailbox. The domain controller in the forest where the user account resides is used to get security information for the account specified by the LinkedMasterAccount parameter.

LinkedMasterAccount

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.UserIdParameter

The LinkedMasterAccount parameter specifies the master account in the forest where the user account resides, if this mailbox is a linked mailbox. The master account is the account to which the mailbox links. The master account will grant access to the mailbox. You can use one of the following values:

GUID
Distinguished name (DN)
Domain\Account
User principal name (UPN)
LegacyExchangeDN
SmtpAddress
Alias

ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxPolicyIdParameter

The ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy parameter specifies a managed folder mailbox policy that controls messaging records management (MRM) for the mailbox. If the parameter is set to $null, Exchange removes the managed folder mailbox policy from the mailbox but any managed folders in the mailbox remain.

ManagedFolderMailboxPolicyAllowed

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The ManagedFolderMailboxPolicyAllowed parameter bypasses the warning that messaging records management (MRM) features are not supported for e-mail clients running versions of Outlook earlier than Outlook 2007. When a managed folder mailbox policy is assigned to a mailbox using the ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy parameter, the warning appears by default unless ManagedFolderMailboxPolicyAllowed is used.

Note:
Although Outlook 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3) clients are supported, they have limited MRM functionality.

MaxBlockedSenders

Optional

System.Nullable

Use the MaxBlockedSenders parameter to specify the maximum number of senders that can be included in the blocked senders list. Blocked senders are senders that are considered junk senders by the mailbox user and are used in junk e-mail rules. This parameter is only validated when the junk e-mail rules are updated using Outlook Web Access or Web services.

MaxReceiveSize

Optional

The MaxReceiveSize parameter specifies the maximum size of messages that this mailbox can receive. You must specify either an integer or "unlimited."

MaxSafeSenders

Optional

System.Nullable

Use the MaxSafeSenders parameter to specify the maximum number of senders that can be included in the safe senders list. Safe senders are senders that are trusted by the mailbox user and are used in junk e-mail rules. This parameter is only validated when the junk e-mail rules are updated using Outlook Web Access or Web services.

MaxSendSize

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The MaxSendSize parameter specifies the maximum size of messages that this mailbox can send. You must specify either an integer or "unlimited."

ProhibitSendQuota

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The ProhibitSendQuota parameter specifies the mailbox size at which the user associated with this mailbox can no longer send messages.

You must specify either an integer or "unlimited."

If you set this attribute on a mailbox, that mailbox setting overrides the value that is set for this attribute on the mailbox database.

ProhibitSendReceiveQuota

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The ProhibitSendReceiveQuota parameter specifies the mailbox size at which the user associated with this mailbox can no longer send or receive messages.

You must specify either an integer or "unlimited."

RecipientLimits

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited

The RecipientLimits parameter specifies the maximum number of recipients per message to which this mailbox can send.

You must specify either an integer or "unlimited."

If you set this attribute on a mailbox, that mailbox setting overrides the value that is set for this attribute on the hub transport server.

RejectMessagesFrom

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RecipientIdParameter[]

The RejectMessagesFrom parameter specifies the recipients from whom messages will be rejected.

RejectMessagesFromDLMembers

Optional

The RejectMessagesFromDLMembers parameter specifies distribution lists. Messages from any member of these distribution lists will be rejected.

RemoveManagedFolderAndPolicy

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

In Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1, you can use the RemoveManagedFolderAndPolicy parameter to remove all MRM policies and attributes from a mailbox. If you use this parameter, MRM policies and MRM properties from any managed folders that were created as part of any MRM policies are all removed, managed folders that are empty are removed from the mailbox, and managed folders that contain items are converted to standard folders.

RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled parameter specifies whether senders must be authenticated. The two possible values for this parameter are $true or $false.

ResourceCapacity

B (bytes)
KB (kilobytes)
MB (megabytes)
GB (gigabytes)
TB (terabytes)

Unqualified values are treated as bytes.

The default value for this parameter is 64 KB. The maximum value for this parameter is 256 KB.

Note:
The quota for mailbox rules applies only to enabled rules. There is no restriction on the number of disabled rules a mailbox can have. However, the total size of rules that are enabled, or active, cannot exceed the value specified for this parameter.

SamAccountName

Optional

System.String

The SamAccountName parameter specifies the user name for earlier operating systems such as Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, Windows 95, and LAN Manager.

Example

The first example shows how to forward John Peoples' e-mail messages to Jose De Oliveira's (jose@contoso.com) mailbox.

The second example uses the Get-Mailbox command to find all the mailboxes in the Marketing organizational unit (OU) 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.

The third example uses the Get-User command to find all users in the Customer Service department and then uses the Set-Mailbox command to change the maximum message size for sending messages to 2 MB.
