How to search and delete specific phishing email from all mailboxes
Hi Everyone! We recently received a couple of phishing emails at our company. We have a 3-node Exchange 2019 cluster. I have been assigned the task of deleting these emails. First, I ran this command to find out the amount of received emails:
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery 'subject:"subject of the phishing email"'
And I got this error: The path of the destination mailbox or .pst file is required
My idea is to test first and then run this command to delete the emails:
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery 'subject:"subject of the phishing email" AND from:"email-phishing-sender"' -DeleteContent
Am I on the right path? Could you help me with the right steps to do this task?
Thanks in advance!

- To test, add the -EstimateResultsOnly switch to your first cmdlet. If everything seems OK, run the second one.

Hi VasilMichev! Thanks for your help. I tried with -EstimateResultsOnly switch and I got this:
No parameter found matching parameter name 'EstimateResultsOnly'
