Exchange 2010 showing a different folder size than the client
Exchange 2010
I have a user that the server is telling me is over her size limit. Checking the Data File properties on the client indicates she is no where near her limit and it is apparent that she has cleared out just about everything. The server however indicates that
she has also 100 times more space used.
I ran Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity "user mailbox name" and got the following results(limited to the specific section that seems odd):
Look at
ItemsInFolder 1
TotalSubjectCount 1
Folder Size 135.2Mb
TotalSubjectSize 0
I am sure this is just my ignorance, but looking at the datafile properties - folder size on the client shows 0 items and 0 b used for the Drafts folder. Is "Subject" in this case referring to Drafts and if so why is the TotalSubjectSize not the
same as the FolderSize?
More importantly, how can I fix this?

Take the Outlook client out of cached-mode. The OST file is probably
damaged. You can delete it, clean up the mailbox, and then put the
client back into cached-mode and the OST file will be recreated.
