Remove Emails from a specific folder between specific date range using powershell script

 Remove emails from a specific folder between specific date range from user Mailbox.

As we are going to use the EWS make sure you met all the prerequisites before you plan to run this script.

• Admin account should have application impersonation rights to run this script, you can follow this msdn post to setup the permissions.
• Install EWS managed API on system where you plan to run the script from, if API is not installed, download the same from here

Please also check my other scripts on Removing emails from user mailbox using EWS.

• Powershell Script to Remove Email from dumpster folders, Purges, and Deletions
• Powershell script to delete email items and subfolders under a specific folder from a user mailbox using EWS managed API in Office 365 or Exchange.

Copy the code and put that in a ps1 file, make sure to change the required attribute in script header.

Note: you can add either hard code admin credentials into PowerShell script or add them to powershell Session in ($cred) Array , this script will fetch the cred automatically from $cred Array by default, if now provided.

script.ps1 -AdminUser "AdminID" -Pass "Password" -Folder "Folder" -FromDate "03/01/2017" -ToDate "03/30/2017"

you can also report what emails this script will delete before you run this script, use -Report:$true  Switch, by default script run in Del Mode

script.ps1 -AdminUser "AdminID" -Pass "Password" -Folder "Folder" -FromDate "03/01/2017" -ToDate "03/30/2017" -Report:$true
