For Exchange 2010, you can run a PowerShell command to change the default permissions. I run one to set the default permissions for calendars as we want all calenders to viewable to everyone in the company. This is what I run:
3. Set “default” permission to all users calendars to “reviewer:
a. $stralias = Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -OrganizationalUnit Users
b. foreach ($s in $stralias) {Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity $s”:calendar” -User default -AccessRights Reviewer}

Step A sets the variable and step B sets the permissions. The command only sets the calendar, but you can easily change to the inbox by replacing “.calendar” with “.inbox”. The variable pulls the users from AD which may need to be modified depending on how your AD is setup.
