Exchange 2010 Recipient Icons
Microsoft Exchange has dozens of different icons. Context can tell you what most of them are, but when I was first learning Exchange, I frequently wished for an easy reference to help me keep them straight. I’m sure Microsoft must have one, but I haven’t seen it. I know I can’t be the only one who wanted this, so here you go.
This chart only covers recipients, not server roles, organization configuration, etc. 14 16 and counting!

Linked mailboxes!
Thanks, Jon! I added linked mailboxes and discovery search mailboxes.
Nice list… Add “Remote User Mailbox”, one to add, and one to update.

Test.User1 with Online Archive Enabled. (update description your Icon#2)

This icon was missing, it’s the icon you see when the mailbox is in the Microsoft cloud = Office 365 account and no longer on premise
