XADM: How to Disable a Mailbox in Exchange Server (238013)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q238013 SUMMARY
If a user leaves a company, instead of removing that user's mailbox, you may want to keep it, but not allow other users to send mail to or receive mail from it.
In Exchange Server version 5.5, you can use the Exchange Server Administrator program to view the properties of the mailbox, and on the Limits tab, change the settings so that the mailbox cannot send or receive mail.
In Exchange Server version 5.0, the Exchange Server Administrator program only allows you to change the settings so that the mailbox cannot send mail; you cannot prohibit the mailbox from receiving, so other users can still send mail to it.
