Users cannot connect to moved mailbox
I was moving a 3 GB mailbox from one Exchange 2007 server to another. The mailbox is a shared mailbox used by multiple countries. Unfortunately, it seemed the department needed to move the mailbox again, so I cancelled the move. After a few mins, if I checked Exchange Management Console, the mailbox appear to be in the original location (Mailbox1-IS1). Problem is, users can't connect to it now, they recv a message saying that Outlook cannot open the folder, and OWA errors out. I get the same problem as well. Is there something I need to do when cancelling a mailbox move to make the original mailbox ok again?

Hi Neil, I afraid, mailbox is not got courrepted during mailbox move. I would suggest you to move it in other mailbox databse and see if it ask to skip for courrept items. you can skip some courrept items and move it into other DB and then check it. During mailbox move it remove some cached and bad items which may causing issue to connect mailbox. If still you have any problem then scan event log in mailbox server and share with us.
