Exchange 2010 SP3 – from a merger. Recently upgraded from 2010 SP1 RU5.
The setting on maximum attachment size at one point on these mailbox was
unlimited. So, as I am looking at these mailboxes, there are some 500mb
attachments. I discovered this after the fact.
I moved a mailbox to another server. However, the user had some very large
email attachments (50-250mb), and some 9 emails did not get moved. I tried
doing a new-mailboxrestorerequest – to move the soft-deleted mailbox to another
dummy user so I could recover them. But, the attachments still error out. I
changed the max send/receive size on the hub transport send/receive rules.
Still no luck. The target mailbox is set to unlimited. So, what am I missing
on this?
I also tried doing a connect-mailbox command. When I run this command with
either the user name or guid. I get an error indicating the the mailbox does
not exist on the database.
[PS] C:\scripts>Connect-Mailbox -whatif -Database "la mail db03" -Identity

However a query of soft deleted mailboxes clearly shows it to exist. Even after
clean-database the results are the same. I get the same error also if I use
the EMC. Also, I can move mail from it using the new-mailboxrestorerequest
command.

Any thoughts on this? How do I recover these rotten 9 emails? I have found a
few unanswered questions via google, but that is no help.
