Trash in Outbox - Exchange 2010
Hi,
In my organization I have 2 CAS/HT and 2 Mailbox (DAG) Exchange Server 2010. Some users have problems with space in their mailboxes, they have trash in their outbox, comparing the folder size in outlook 2010 (file/ cleanup tools/
mailbox cleanup/ folder size) I can see a diference between Local Data and
Server Data in outbox folder, total size of outbox in local data is 0 KB but server data has 13MB or more in other users (or less).
I run the a powershell command and I found the next:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>get-mailbox -Database "dbusers" | Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -FolderScope outbox | sort-object folder size -descending | ft identity, foldersize
Identity
FolderSize
--------
----------
dominio.com/Usuarios/ou1/user1\outbox 13.36 MB (14,009,997 bytes)
dominio.com/Usuarios/ou2/user2... 11.64 MB (12,208,920 bytes)
dominio.com/Usuarios/ou1/user3... 8.831 MB (9,259,819 bytes)
dominio.com/Usuarios/ou1/user4... 8.11 MB (8,503,563 bytes)
dominio.com/Usuarios/ou1/user5... 3.293 MB (3,452,691 bytes)
dominio.com/Usuarios/ou1/user6... 369 KB (377,822 bytes)
dominio.com/Usuarios/ou2/user7... 8.278 KB (8,477 bytes)
dominio.com/Usuarios/ou2/user8 4.463 KB (4,570 bytes)
dominio.com/Usuarios/ou2/user9 0 B (0 bytes)
dominio.com/Usuarios/ou2/user10... 0 B (0 bytes)
....
after a half day a run the command again and the result is similar.

Hi,
Could you please try the following methods?
1. Log in to the “Light version of OWA”
à select view all foldersà select
Outbox. Are you able to delete all the stuck files?
2. Run the Outlook in safe mode, Synchronize data and try to delete all the stuck files.
3. Did you try to use
MFCMapi
to delete all the stuck files?
