[<CommonParameters>]Description
If no parent folder is specified, the cmdlet creates a mail folder in the root folder hierarchy of the mailbox. If the mailbox isn't specified, the cmdlet creates the folder in the mailbox of the user currently running the task. When run, the cmdlet returns the new folder name and the folder path as the output.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet (https://technet.microsoft.com/library/mt432940.aspx). .

| Type: | String |
| Position: | 1 |

| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
The Parent parameter specifies values of the mailbox identity and the parent folder under which the new folder is to be created. If the parent folder isn't specified, the cmdlet creates the folder in the root folder hierarchy of the specified mailbox. You specify values for this parameter by using the syntax: <Mailbox Identity>:<Parent>
Valid values for <Mailbox Identity> are unique identifiers for the mailbox.
For example:
Name
Display name
Alias
Distinguished name (DN)
Canonical DN
<domain name>\<account name>
Email address
GUID
LegacyExchangeDN
SamAccountName
User ID or user principal name (UPN)
Values for <Parent> can be both the store object ID and a path string such as "\Inbox\Personal".

Optional Parameters
The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.
Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
