Description

The Set-InboxRule cmdlet allows you to modify the rule conditions, exceptions, and actions.

When you create, modify, remove, enable, or disable an Inbox rule in Exchange PowerShell, any client-side rules created by Microsoft Outlook are removed.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Set-InboxRule ProjectContoso -MarkImportance "High"

This example modifies the action of the existing Inbox rule ProjectContoso. The MarkImportance parameter is used to mark the message with high importance.

Parameters

-AlwaysDeleteOutlookRulesBlob

The AlwaysDeleteOutlookRulesBlob switch hides a warning message when you use Outlook on the web (formerly known as Outlook Web App) or Exchange PowerShell to modify Inbox rules. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

You can specify multiple categories separated by commas. If the value contains spaces, enclose the value in quotation marks (").

The categories that you specify for this parameter are defined in the mailbox (they aren't shared between mailboxes).

Type:MultiValuedProperty
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False

To enter multiple values and overwrite any existing entries, use the following syntax: Value1,Value2,...ValueN.

To add or remove one or more values without affecting any existing entries, use the following syntax: @{Add="Value1","Value2"...; Remove="Value3","Value4"...}.

Type:MultiValuedProperty

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
