Best way to archive/clean very large mailbox
Hi All,
A user's mailbox size is enormous, over 81GB. The challenge involves over 500 folders/subfolders and "uncountable" emails. My local IT Team has limited experience dealing with such a problem.
Moreover, after archiving the mailbox, for some reason, the mailbox size increased by 20GB.
I am looking to reduce the mailbox size and define how to manage to archive it smoothly.
Also, how to describe where and how to "fix" it as I have to be precise in explaining the problem to the outsourced EX team.
I much appreciate any advice.
