    Hi Risingflight,

    Take steps below to achieve your goal:
    1. Open ECP, permissions, admin roles, then create a new role group with Mailbox Import Export and Mailbox Search permission,  add administrator to this group. (Those permission are needed for search-mailbox command) 
    2. Create a CSV file and input mailboxes which have spam.
     
    3. Create a PS1 file showed in the picture below: 
    4. Run the script in EMS. 

    This function of this script is search mailbox which showed in picture two and delete mail which subject is “new” from those mailboxes.
    For more information about search-mailbox, you can see:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/mailboxes/search-mailbox?view=exchange-ps

    Hi Risingflight,

    Please make sure the one who runs the EMS is in this group which contains Mailbox Import Export and Mailbox search roles. If you run EMS as other users, you need add that user to this group.

    After adding users to this group, you need to reopen EMS and run this script.

    The above solution works prefect.

    is it possible to delete an email mentioning sender id, recipient id and subject.
