You will have an event log error or warning for every mailbox that is quarantined. It describes the problem. Note that the wording may be confusing, but it will tell you why.
The most common reason for quarantines is mailboxes that are growing too quickly. See: http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/06/28/mailboxes-on-a-database-are-quarantined-in-an-environment-with-system-center-operations-manager.aspx But there are certainly many other potential issues.

You can do a get-mailbox to find the names that go with the GUIDs. http://technet.microsoft.com/library/bb331958.aspx#SH DAMIEN SOLODOW Systems Engineer 317.447.6033 (office) 317.447.6014 (fax) HARRISON COLLEGE From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2013 4:10 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [Exchange] Quarantined BOX not message; was ex 2013 Dirty shutdown So all is up and running , but a few mailboxes have been quarantined, I only noticed it becuase I count open outlook, then someone sent me a message and said "I got abounce that you email box is quarantined" here is the message #550 5.7.9 STOREDRV.Deliver; Recipient mailbox quarantined.; Your message wasn't delivered because the recipient's mailbox is quarantined.
