Configure Managed Folder Mailbox Policy Properties

  • Article

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010

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. This topic shows you how to view the properties of a managed folder mailbox policy and how to add or remove associated folders from that policy.

Note

After you assign a managed folder mailbox policy to a mailbox user, the managed folders and settings are applied to the mailbox when the Managed Folder Assistant runs and processes the mailbox.
