You can change any of these fields as and when required. Refer to Creating a user account for more information about each field of a user account
The User Details page includes a Status box which indicates if the mailbox is active/inactive, the dates it was created/ last updated, the email address of the last administrator to edit it and the last time the user logged into their account.
Click Show Mailbox Statistics in the status box to view a user’s last logon date, the number of items in their inbox and their quota usage

If you need to know the last date and time a user in your organisation logged in, the number of items in their mailbox or the amount of quota used, you can view this through mailbox statistics
See above for how to search for the user’s account you wish to edit.
Click on Show Mailbox Statistics to view the details
