How shell i correct the following command; Powershell command: Get-Message -Filter {FromAddress -like "info@xxx.com"} -SubjectKeywords "junk" -Deletecontent -confirm:$false Salih Hanifeoglu Best Regards

Hi, So can you confirm that info@xxx.com is a mailbox inside your Exchange org? If this is correct then get the username for the info mailbox and try this: - Get-Mailbox -Identity INFOUSERNAME | Add-MailboxPermission -User YOURUSERNAME -AccessRights Fullaccess -InheritanceType all Get-Mailbox -Identity INFOUSERNAME | Export-Mailbox -SubjectKeywords “junk” -DeleteContent -Confirm:$false As always test code provided somewhere safe first.

Sorry I missed that the Export-mailbox cmdlet requires the -targetmailbox and targetfolder parameters. This means it takes a copy of the deleted items and places them into the target mailbox, etc. You can create a tmp mailbox for this and then drop it after you have confirmed you deleted the right content.

Hi I think you can try -ContentKeywords "junk" instead of -SubjectKeywords "junk", because it select the Keyword in the subject which contents "junk", such as "juck mail","Mail junk" The command should be : Get-Mailbox -Identity info | Export-Mailbox -ContentKey words "junk" -TargetMailbox info@xxx.com -TargetFolder "Junk" -DeleteContent Dont forget create a new folder in OWA or outlook called "Juck", Sean's suggestion is quite correct. After running the command, you can delete them from the folder you created. Cheers Zi Feng
