Migrating email-enabled public folders corrupted

We migrated our public folders from EX 2010 to 2013 but currently face 2 issues with the import:

a.  All public folders/subfolders became email disabled - about 300 + folders

b. More importantly there is a mismatch between folder name and assigned smtp addess.

For example imported folder name is qa1  smtp associated with the folder is qa18@domain.com

is there a powershell script we can run to fix these issues ?

A script would have to be psychic to fix the issues.

You can use the Enable-MailPublicFolder and Set-MailPublicFolder cmdlets to update settings.

Hi,

A. If you use serial migration to migrate public folders, then Mail-enabled public folders that are created after a public folder migration is started won't be mail-enabled in the destination organization. You'll need to manually mail-enable these public folders manually when the migration is complete. This also applies to public folders that existed prior to migration starting, but were mail-enabled after migration started.

Refer from

B. After these public folder are enabled, then check these mail-enabled public folders SMTP address.

If they are also mismatched, please check if the emailaddresspolicy is assigned to them with the following command

Get-MailPuclicFolder PF path | fl EmailAddressPolicyEnabled

If the value is true, then set this value to false and use the following command to correct them (or check email address policy)

$allPF = Get-MailPublicFolder -Resultsize unlimited 

Foreach ($PF in $allPF)

{Set-MailPublicFolder -Identity $PF.identity -PrimarySmtpAddress  ($PF.alias+@company.com)}

Is there a way to set Enable-MailPublic folder on the parent and have it propagate to all subfolders within it ?
