Applies to: Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 Topic Last Modified: 2007-08-29

With Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, you create a Unified Messaging (UM) mailbox policy to apply a common set of policies or security settings to a collection of UM-enabled mailboxes. After you deploy Unified Messaging in your Exchange 2007 organization, you may have to create and configure additional UM mailbox policies or modify existing UM mailbox policies. This topic discusses Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging (UM) mailbox policies and how UM mailbox policies can be managed in your Exchange 2007 organization.
