That is huge. I try to tell my users to keep it under 10 MB as a lot of mail servers will reject large attachments. At least that has been my experience in the past. I'm sure that you have your needs for such a large limit.

The user sent the item and because of slow network connection combined with cached mode behavior the issue started it's spiral. Initially the user mailbox (in Outlook) didn't initially show the single sent item because it was that slow to sync.

You said you were using quotas. What are they set at? From: Beahm, Keith [mailto:kbe...@stinson.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 3:43 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: System says user has 250MB in sent folder The issue is resolved. I am ashamed to say I was duped by the user, and overlooked the single item in their sent items (it had a 250MB attachment). I foolishly believed the user when they told me they just got behind in cleaning up their old sent items. All my bad, and I apologize for wasting everyone's time. From: Dahl, Peter [mailto:peter.d...@yum.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 1:33 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: System says user has 250MB in sent folder Maybe an item that was not a message was inadvertently dragged to the sent items folder. Since it is not a message type the outlook view may not show it. Try an 'Advanced Find' search with outlook for 'Any type of Outlook item' set the size to greater than 100 MB and see if it finds anything that is hidden from the default view configuration.

I have disabled them and will try some tests including a move.

I seem to remember something about sent items being able to be saved on the IMAP server itself instead of the local sent items....just a thought. John W.

The Exchange 2007 mailbox server (via properties of the user) confirms that the user has a total mailbox size that would confirm the 250MB in Sent items. I have moved the mailbox successfully between DBs (so it can't be a corrupt item issue), and I have also deleted all local OST and OAB files at the client. Nothing seems to clear the "ghost" sent items, and we impose mailbox quotas in our environment ... so this is an issue. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Keith D.
