Suspend an import request any time after the request was created, but before the request reaches the status of Completed. You can resume the move request by using the Resume-MailboxImportRequest cmdlet. NOTE: This cmdlet is no longer supported in Exchange Online. To import a .pst file in Exchange Online, see Use network upload to import PST files. To use this cmdlet, you need to add the Mailbox Import Export role to a role group (for example, to the Organization Management role group). For more information, see Add a role to a role group.
