Exchange Online - Add additional email addresses to a "Focused Inbox" Transport Rule

Hello everyone,

 

We set a transport rule a few weeks ago to move all emails coming from a list of specific people into the "Focused" section in Outlook.

Now I need to add additional email addresses to that list. I know that I can edit the rule via the Exchange admin center, but I would like to do that via PowerShell.

This was the original command:

 

New-TransportRule -Name "Focused Inbox VIP" -From "x@school.com","y@school.com","z@school.com" -SetHeaderName "X-MS-Exchange-Organization-BypassFocusedInbox" -SetHeaderValue "true"
 
If I use the following command:
 
Set-TransportRule -Name "Focused Inbox VIP" -From "a@school.com","b@school.com","c@school.com",
 
will the new addresses be added to the previous list or will the list be overwritten and replaced with the new email addresses?
 
Thank you in advance for your help!

    If you do it like that, they will be overwritten, you have to specify the full list instead. Some properties support the hashtable notation, making it easier to add/remove entries, but that's not the case here.
