How to export mailbox details in a text or excel file?

One of my customer asked me to send the list of mailboxes used in his Organization. I checked on Exchange Console and send him the screenshot.
He told me that he not needed the screenshot, He needed the mailbox details in Excel or Text file format.
I found one command for that which you can use in your "Exchange power shell" to export the mailbox details in text file:-
get-mailbox > mailboxsize.txt

You will get the file in C:\windows\system32. You can copy the file from here and send to your manager/customer.
