How to bulk mail-enable/disable Office 365 public folders?

In this post, I'll explain how you can enable or disable public folders in Office 365, in bulk, without using PowerShell scripts.

Why mail-enable/disable a public folder?

A mail-enabled public folder offers a centralized email delivery for specific groups in an organization without having to give control of mailboxes to them. That is, when you mail-enable a public folder, users can post to that folder by sending an email to it. On the other hand, if you don't want users to post to a public folder, you mail-disable it.

Why O365 Manager Plus is a better choice?

Exchange Admin Centre allows you to mail-enable/disable only one public folder at a time, which is tiresome. With O365 Manager Plus, you can bulk enable/disable multiple public folders.

Steps:

Log into O365 Manager Plus with admin credentials.
Go to the Management tab.

Figure 1. Bulk public folder modification.

Navigate to Public Folders drop-down > Bulk Public Folder Modification > Mail Enable Public Folder or Mail Disable Public Folder.

Figure 3. Mail disable public folder.

In the window that opens, select the Office 365 Tenent and Virtual Tenent in which you want to enable or disable mail-enabled public folders.
To manually select the required public folders, select Enter name(s) to search and click Find. If you have the folders listed in a CSV file, then use the CSV Import option.
Click Apply.
