Get-Mailbox | Format-Table alias, *quota
Retrieves all mailbox users with mailbox quotas (only set explicitly). "unlimited" may be misleading if default quota is used. See bellow.
Get-Mailbox -id "**" | fl *quota*
A value of TRUE on UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults means that the per-mailbox settings are ignored and the mailbox database defaults are used.

Full access right on all mailboxes in all databases for a user
Get-Mailboxdatabase | get-ADPermission -User admin1
List permissions admin1 have on all exchange databases
Add-MailboxPermission -identity user1 -User admin1 -AccessRights FullAccess

Remove-MailboxPermission -Identity user1 -User admin1 -AccessRight FullAccess -InheritanceType All
Remove FullAccess permission for admin1 on mailbox user1
Get-MailboxPermission –Identity user1
List all mailbox permissions on mailbox user1.
If information doesn’t fit in columns you can append |Format-List at the end of the command. Valid for other commands too.
Get-MailboxPermission -Identity user1 -User admin1
List all mailbox permissions admin1 have on mailbox user1
Get-ADPermission -Identity "User Name" -User admin1
List all AD permissions admin1 have on user "User Name" ("User Name" - AD Distinguished Name or Display Name (if unique) of the user, not alias)
You need this to list "Send-As" permissions as "Send-As" is AD rather than mailbox permission.
