Below you will find various commands useful for managing email in bulk.
Prerequisites
These commands require the ExchangeOnlineManagement module.
Commands
Import Data
New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox [email protected] -FilePath \\server\share\import.pst -TargetRootFolder /Export Data
This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.
New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox [email protected] -ContentFilter {(Received -lt '02/01/2019')} -FilePath \\server\share\export.pstBulk Delete
The following script will delete all emails during the specific time range but will ignore calendar invites, contacts, and other data in the mailbox. We have to use a Do-Until loop, because -DeleteContent will only remove 20 emails at once
$mbx = get-mailbox [email protected]
Do {
$result = Search-Mailbox -Identity $mbx.Identity -SearchQuery '(kind:email) AND (sent:01/01/2000..02/01/2019)' -DeleteContent -Force -WarningAction Silentlycontinue -DoNotIncludeArchive
write-host $result.resultitemscount -ForegroundColor Green
} Until ($result.resultitemscount -eq 0)
