In Exchange 2007 is there an easy way to stop incoming mail to one mailbox? I don't want to delete the mail that is already in there and I don't want to disable the AD account. I occasionally get these requests from HR so I need a practical, best practices type of solution.Thanks,Eric C.

I think the easiest way to do that would be to run this command on the users mailbox from powershell. Set-Mailbox -identity <mailbox identity> -MaxReceiveSize 0KB This will NDR all email sent to this mailbox because no message will be smaller than 0KB.

Hi Eric, I would disable AD account first to prevent unauthorized access if somebody knows the credential. If you have full mailbox access then you can add it as an additional mailbox in your outlook profile or can create new profile and open mailbox which doesnt ask for credential.

I would follow this as a best practice

I'll do that. Thanks to both of you!Eric
