The official recommendation ... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q259751. According to this, you may only need as little as 10MB to free up the service.

Users shouldn't be connected to the server while their mailboxes are being moved, nor can mailboxes accept mail while they are being moved (assuming your using the mailbox tool). 1 GB question - done this myself and works great ... freeing up a few hundred MB does get the store back up quickly, although I've never see this on a best practices list. Quicker than moving the logs to another drive.

EX4.4 sp4 say, server Gateway (IMC connector only), server A and server B (mailboxes). During move mailbox from A to B arrived a incoming mail (smtp to Gateway) for the mailbox on the move. server A sent back a reply Your message ... did not reach the following recipient(s): <Display name> on Mon, 28 Jan 2002 12:33:39 +0100 Unable to deliver the message due to a communications failure The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=us;a= ;p=<...> ;l=<Gateway>020201281117D5DWCYXN MSEXCH:MSExchangeMTA:<site>:<server A> Is this normal ? During move mailbox incoming external mail is rejected ? I could not find any reference to this in technet (well, searched only for a couple of minutes to be honest, found nothing related). Similary, I was looking exactly when a services will shut down for no more space available (now you know why I'm moving mailboxes :), the only thing I found was several references (EX 5.5 Server Guide, Administering and Maintaining, the Disaster Recovery White paper and similar) to res1.log and res2.log. Those are 5MB each and are used as last resort when the disk is full - does this mean services shut down really at the last moment (new page can't be allocated) ? Somehow I always thought it would shutdown with some % of disk space still available. If the services do shutdown when the store partition is really full could it be considered a good practice creating a 1GB (or something) file, which can be deleted in order to create space as last resort... say, to restart services and move somewhere else some mailboxes or public folders ? Then decide if to spank the users who eat space like peanuts or the managers who want won't allow space limits, in order to use the "infinite resources" approach for supposedly faster development but won't fund the same infinite (or at least sufficent) approach to server space ?
