Outlook 2010 reporting larger deleted items folder than Exchange
We are running Exchange 2010 SP2.
Currently if I run the following powershell command
Get-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database Name" | Get-MailboxStatistics | ft displayname,totaldeleteditemsize,totalitemsize
The output I receive for the "TotelDeletedItemSize" is 3.373MB. If I right click my "Deleted Items" in Outlook 2010 I get the reported _Server Data Size_ of 425MB.
Right now we permantely delete items in the "Deleted Items" folder every 90 days based on a retention policy. Can anyone tell me why the numbers are different from the powershell command and Outlook?

Because the value reported by the get-mailboxstatistics is the size of
the *recoverable* deleted items, not the size of the items that are
still visible to you in the Deleted Items folder.

Hello John,
As far as I know, the TotalDeletedItemSize is the dumpster size, if you want to check the Deleted Items folder size, you can use this command to do that:
Get-mailbox -identity usermailbox| Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -FolderScope all | sort-object
FolderSize -Descending| FT Identity, FolderSize -wrap
Here is a related document for you:
Get-MailboxFolderStatistics

Is there a way to get this same output for every mailbox on the system?

If you want to get the output for every mailbox on the system, you can use this command:
Get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited| Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -FolderScope all | sort-object FolderSize -Descending| FT Identity, FolderSize -wrap
If you only need DeletedItems folder output for every mailbox on the system, you can use this command:
Get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited| Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -FolderScope DeletedItems | sort-object FolderSize -Descending| FT Identity, FolderSize -wrap

Just replace the "-identity usermailbox" with "-resultsize unlimited".
