Exchange 2010: Limit Number of Internet Messages Sent by a User
An administrator wants to know if its possible to limit the number of outgoing internet emails each user can send each day.
Yes, Exchange 2010 can limit the number of messages a user sends, using the
RecipientRateLimit and MessageRateLimit parameters in a Throttling Policy.
MessageRateLimit controls the number of messages per minute that can be
submitted. When messages are submitted using Outlook or OWA, the messages
will stay in the Outbox longer when the user submits messages at a rate
greater than the MessageRateLimit parameter. The messages are deferred, not
denied, and will eventually be sent.
RecipientRateLimit limits the number of recipients that a user can send to
in a 24-hour period. The user will receive an NDR for messages in excess of
the limit.
To create a new policy where the users can send to 30 recipients a day and
no more than 1 message per minute, you would use this command:
New-ThrottlingPolicy -Name LimitMessagesSent -RecipientRateLimit 30 -MessageRateLimit
1
To assign it to a user, use this command:
Set-Mailbox -Identity user_alias -ThrottlingPolicy LimitMessagesSent

Outlook 2010, Multiple Accounts and the Default Account
When you use Outlook 2010 and have multiple accounts delivered to different *.pst files, Outlook doesn't use the default account set in Account settings. Instead, it uses the account associated with the mailbox or *.pst file the folder you are viewing is stored in. This change in behavior takes some getting used to, but its my experience that once they understand how it works, most users with multiple POP3 or Exchange accounts like it.
Outlook 2010 Macro to use the Default Account
An IMAP user created this macro to open a new message form from any message store and use the default account as assigned in Account Settings.
New Poll: Do you like Outlook 2010's handling of default accounts?
We have a new poll at outlook forums. When there are multiple accounts
delivered to different *.pst files in the profile, Outlook 2010 uses the
account assigned to the *.pst the folder is in for new messages, not the
default account assigned in Account Settings.

Outlook 2002 Crash When Replying to Blackberry Messages
We're seeing a few reports of Outlook 2002 crashing when replying to
messages sent from a BlackBerry. It looks like the problem is the July
security update that's also causing problems in Outlook 2007.

New Poll: Do you like
Outlook 2010's handling of default accounts?
http://www.outlookforums.com/showthread.php?69015
We have a new poll at outlook forums: Outlook
2010 has a nifty new feature - The lack of a true
default account when there are multiple accounts
delivered to different pst files in the profile.
Outlook uses the account assigned to the pst the
folder is in for new messages, not the default
account assigned in Account Settings. Some users
complain about, at least till they get used to
it. (Registration not required to vote.)
Outlook & Office 2010 Click-to-Run Headaches
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2010/click-to-run.asp
The “Click to Run” version (C2R) is virtualized
and can run side-by-side with your current
installation which makes it great for trials but
there are some limitations: Outlook 2010 C2R will
not use add-ins and external programs (including
sync software)will not see Outlook C2R; for
example, mailto’s will not use Outlook 2010
because it is not registered as nor can it be the
default email client. You can switch between
either version at any time but cannot use both at
the same time. While the limitations are annoying
for regular use, it’s workable for people who
want to try Outlook or need to support Outlook
2010 but aren’t ready to move to it for daily
use.
Should you install Office 2010 32- or 64-bit?
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2010/64bit.asp
The 32-bit version of Office 2010 is the
recommended option for most users, because it
prevents potential compatibility issues with
other 32-bit applications, specifically
third-party add-ins that are available only for
32-bit operating systems.
