Questions:
- In Exchange, what's a Mail User (as opposed to a Mail Contact)?
While a mail contact is just contact info (and doesn't even necessarily represent someone who belongs to your organization), a mail user is a real account (security principal) that happens to not have Exchange mail. This terminology is confusing; real users who have Exchange accounts are called "Mail Enabled Users" while real users without Exchange are called "Mail Users".
We can convert a mail user to a Mail Enabled User (i.e. give them Exchange access) with:
Get-MailUser <user name> | Enable-Mailbox
in EMC.
