Apply a Managed Folder Mailbox Policy to Users

  • Article

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010

Managed folder mailbox policies are used to create logical groupings of managed folders. When a managed folder mailbox policy is applied to users' mailboxes, all the managed folders linked to the policy are deployed in a single operation. You can apply only one managed folder mailbox policy to a user mailbox.

Important

Managed custom folders are a premium feature of messaging records management (MRM). Mailboxes with policies that include managed custom folders require an Exchange Server Enterprise client access license (CAL).
