What is a User Mailbox?
The user mailbox is the most common kind of recipient in Exchange Server that we allocate to an individual user in our Exchange association. Every user mailbox has a related Active Directory user account that provides the user access to the mailbox to send and receive e-mail messages. We will create a new user account in the Mailbox Database in Exchange Server 2019 by using the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) and Exchange Management Shell (EMS).
Create User Mailbox in Exchange Server
Sign into the Exchange Admin Center.
Select recipients in the feature pane, and then select the mailboxes tab.
Click the + icon and click on the user mailbox.
Select the Existing user option, and then click Browse to find the user that has already been created in Active Directory. If you do not have the user created in the server’s active directory, choose New User and fill in the fields. That will create a new user in an active directory, including a mailbox.
Select a user, and then click OK.
Choose more options.
If you have more than one database to choose from, then click the Browse button.
In our example, we have only one mailbox database.
Select the database, and then click OK.
