Mailbox size after shortcut
Environment: Windows 2003, EX 4.81 SP1, Lotus Domino 6.5.
We are shortcutting mailboxes after archving them and have observed some thing. We are calculating the expected size of the mailbox after shortcutting using the logic: new size=(Orignal size-Total msg size(MB) on EX admin)+(Total msg size(MB) on EX admin-shortcut(MB) on EX Admin). Ex. Mailbox size 150 MB, EX admin shows Total msg size as 100 MB and shortcut size as 50 MB, new size should be (150-100)+(100-50)=100 MB.
We have observer that every mailbox is slightly larger than expected size i.e. 25-30%, may be 130 MB as per the above example.
However, for a couple of mailboxes, this is large 70-80% and for one of them it has gone up by 280% i.e. the new size as per above example would actually be 280 MB.
What could be the possible reason for this increase in size? Does EX admin show the correct size and no. of messages it is shortcutting?
