Hi there, I am trying to get this working for our organization where we have about 50 user mailboxes already and I would like to automate the process of creating a scans folder in their mailbox, then create a mail flow rule to take anything from scanner@ourdomain.com and put it directly into the folder and finally set a retention period of 24 hours to that folder. Is this possible in powershell and could somebody point me in the right direction or help out with it?
