Mailbox Features

Several property options for mailbox features enable for changes in settings for Outlook Web App (OWA), Exchange ActiveSync, unified messaging, and the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) communications protocol. Specific details on these mailbox feature properties are as follows:

• Outlook Web App-This tab is used to enable or disable access to the Exchange servers via Outlook Web App for the user. Additionally, there is a new property for the object that allows the administrator to specify that the account must use a particular Outlook Web App mailbox policy, if one has been created. By default, OWA access is enabled for all user mailboxes.
• Exchange ActiveSync-This feature can be enabled or disabled for an individual mailbox. If enabled, you have the option in the properties to apply an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy for the mailbox. By default, Exchange ActiveSync is enabled for all user mailboxes.
• Unified Messaging-You have the option to enable or disable unified messaging for the mailbox using this feature setting.
• MAPI-With this setting, you can dictate whether the user can access his mailbox from a MAPI-enabled client. You have the option to enable or disable MAPI access. By default, MAPI access is enabled for all user mailboxes.
• POP3-With this setting, you can dictate whether the user can access his mailbox with POP3, an application-layer Internet standard protocol used to retrieve email from a remote server. This option is enabled by default for all user mailboxes.
• IMAP4-With this setting, you can dictate whether the user can access his mailbox with Internet Message Access Protocol Version 4 Rev1 (IMAP4). IMAP4 is an application- layer Internet protocol that enables a local client to access email on a remote server. By default, IMAP4 access is enabled for all user mailboxes.
• Archive-By enabling the Archive option, administrators can require that items be automatically moved from the primary mailbox to the archive using the configured policy.

Calendar Settings

New to Exchange Server 2010, the Calendar Settings tab enables administrators to modify the way that automatic processing of calendar items by the Calendar Attendant is handled. The following options are available:

• Enable the Calendar Attendant-Enabled by default-This option enables or disables the Calendar Attendant, which decides whether any of the remaining features on the tab are available. If the Calendar Attendant is disabled, none of the following features can be enabled.
• Remove meeting forward notifications to the Deleted Items folder-Disabled by default-When selected, this option takes meeting forward notifications and deletes them when they have been processed by the Calendar Attendant.
• Remove old meeting requests and responses-Enabled by default-When selected, this option allows the Calendar Attendant to remove old and redundant updates and responses.
• Mark new meeting requests as Tentative-Enabled by default-If selected, new meeting requests are marked as tentative in the user's calendar. If not selected, pending requests are marked as free.
• Process meeting requests and responses originating outside the Exchange Organization-Disabled by default-If selected, the Calendar Attendant will process meeting requests that originate from outside of the Exchange Server organization.
