Use the New Managed Folder Mailbox Policy page to create a new managed folder mailbox policy and specify which managed folders should be associated with the policy.

A managed folder mailbox policy is a logical grouping of managed folders. When a managed folder mailbox policy is applied to a user’s mailbox, all the managed folders that are linked to the policy are deployed in a single operation, thereby making the deployment of messaging records management (MRM) easier.

For example, a managed folder named Patents Documents and another managed folder named Legal Documents could be linked to a managed folder mailbox policy named Legal Team. When you apply the Legal Team mailbox policy to a user's mailbox, the managed folders that are linked to that mailbox policy (Patents Documents and Legal Documents) are then applied to the user's mailbox in a single step.

For information about creating managed folder mailbox policies, see How to Create a Managed Folder Mailbox Policy.

Use this wizard page to configure the following attributes of a new managed folder mailbox policy.

Managed folder mailbox policy name

Type the name of the new managed folder mailbox policy

Specify the managed folders that you want to associate with this policy

Specify the managed folders to associate with the new policy.

To add a folder to the list, click Add and then use the Select Managed Folder dialog box. You can add both managed default folders and managed custom folders. Both appear in the dialog box. To select multiple folders, press the CTRL key while selecting.

It is important that you use the managed default folder named Entire Mailbox with caution. Managed content settings that are applied to Entire Mailbox control every folder in the mailbox except:

• Managed custom folders (and their subfolders)
  
  
• Managed default folders (and their subfolders)
  
  A managed default folder is a default folder in the mailbox (such as the Inbox, Calendar, or Contacts) that is linked to a managed folder mailbox policy. If a default folder in the mailbox is not linked to a managed folder mailbox policy, then the “entire mailbox” policy will apply to that default folder.
  
  

To remove a folder, select the folder in the list and then click .
