When an email is sent to the user, an Exchange
mailbox object is created in the Exchange database. At a minimum, the identity and the database
parameters can be specified to enable a mailbox. This cmdlet can be used to enable an existing
Active Directory user object as a user mailbox, resource mailbox, linked mailbox, or shared mailbox.

A key point to note is that when mailbox - enabling an existing user, if an alias is not specified, the user
principal name (UPN) is used and all non - ASCII characters converted to underscore characters. The
potential exists for the user account to have a non - ASCII value for the UPN. In this case, when you
mailbox - enable the user, the alias will be changed to all underscore characters. To avoid this, confirm
that the user account has an ASCII UPN before you create the new mailbox, or make sure you specify a
value for the alias. To enable an existing Active Directory object, run the following command:
Enable-Mailbox MailUser1@ExchangeExchange.local -Database ???Mailbox Database???
The New-Mailbox cmdlet is also used to create a new linked mailbox. As you recall, a linked mailbox is
a mailbox that is accessed by an external account not in the Exchange forest, although a disabled
Windows account in the Exchange forest is associated with it.
