You cannot have two mail boxes for single account. So first you need to disconnect the first mail box from the account and then reconnect the second mail box.How ever you dont need to attach a Admin account for retriving the email. You can create normal domain user, connect the mail box in question and can retireve the email.Raj

Start the Exchange Management Console. In the console tree, expand Recipient Configuration, and then click Mailbox. In the result pane, select the mailbox you want to remove. In the action pane, under the name of the mailbox, click Remove. A warning appears asking, Are you sure you want to remove 'mailbox name'? Click Yes to remove the mailbox. To use the Exchange Management Shell to remove a mailbox To disconnect the mailbox for user "john" from John's user account and also delete the user account, run the following command: Remove-Mailbox -Identity domain\user Raj

Hi, Remove-Mailbox will delete the associated user from AD . Is OP not asking about disconnecting the mailbox instead of removing the user and disconnecting the mailbox? Regards, Laeeq Qazi|Snr Software Engineer(Exchange + Sharepoint + BES + DynamicsCRM) www.HostingController.com
