Aug 21, 2023I tried a MoveRequest again on Friday.
The report just has this repeated every three hours or so:
[EX01] The Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service 'EX01' (15.2.1258.12 caps:3FFFFF) is examining the request.
[EX01] Connected to target mailbox '811ba64d-9bdf-4f72-b10d-8c203b0202d0 (Primary)', database 'MailboxDatabase01', Mailbox server 'EX01' Version 15.2 (Build 1258.0).

[EX01] Folder creation progress: 0 folders created in mailbox '811ba64d-9bdf-4f72-b10d-8c203b0202d0 (Primary)'.
It doesn't even have any stalled messages anymore. I really don't want to have to keep Exchange 2013 in place for one mailbox! Is there another way to try migrate?
EDIT: a colleague accidentally created a new mailbox on the old 2013 server. I was able to successfully use new-moverequest to migrate it to one of the 2019 databases (although it was only 50MB).

ThanksTaeYounAnn that's what I ended up doing.
Caused some issues with internal users replying to old emails from the user but it got the job done!
