New Mailbox Import Request operation

The New Mailbox Import Request process imports mailbox data from a .pst file to a mailbox.

Notes

  • The New Mailbox Export Request operation supports Microsoft Exchange versions 2010 SP1, 2013, and 2016.
  • This operation can only be performed using 32-bit Exchange Management tools and Microsoft Outlook 2003 SP2 or later. 
  • This operation is not directly supported on a 64-bit Microsoft Exchange server.
  • To run this operation, the AOUser should have access to the mailbox, which can also be provided using the following cmdlet:
    Add-MailboxPermission -Identity ExportMailbox -AccessRights FULLACCESS -User AOUser  

The adapter request parameters may differ according to the Microsoft Exchange Server version.

For the list of all supported parameters, refer to the New-MailboxImportRequest cmdlet in the Microsoft Exchange documentation specific to your version.
