After disabling mailboxes, they take a long time to show in "connect a mailbox" list in EAC or in the shell, or do not show at all.

I can find the old mailbox by using Get-MailboxStatistics | Where { $_.DisplayName -eq "<display name>"

Is this a bug or by design and there is a problem our setup?

I found answer after posting.

I had used:

Get-MailboxDatabase | Get-MailboxStatistics | Where { $_.DisconnectReason -ne $null} | ForEach {Update-StoreMailboxState -Database $_.Database -Identity $_.MailboxGuid -Confirm:$False}

but this failed in my case as Disconnect was null.

What fixed it was this more broad command:

Get-MailboxStatistics -Database "DBName" | ForEach { Update-StoreMailboxState -Database $_.Database -Identity $_.MailboxGuid -Confirm:$false }

I will have a look at Maintenance Schedule next...

Hi,

Thanks for your sharing. Generally, if the mailbox state is not updated immediately, we can use the following cmdlet to update it manually.

Get-MailboxStatistics -Database xxx | ForEach { Update-StoreMailboxState -Database $_.Database -Identity $_.MailboxGuid -Confirm:$false }

For more information, here is an  article for your reference.
