Messages stuck in Outbox with Outlook Anywhere - Newer network devices have more aggressive timeouts. These timeouts can manifest as problems when using Outlook Anywhere; specifically, messages stuck in the Outbox. To resolve this issue, change the timeout for the RPC Proxy component to 120 seconds:

[PS] C:\>get-mailbox -database "BQT-DAG2_BenQUser-DB1" | Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -FolderScope outbox | Sort-Object FolderSize -Descending | ft identity, foldersize

get-mailboxserver | select-object Name,ManagedFolderWorkCycle

(obviously, set-mailboxserver to set it – though I believe it only takes day’s as its input value)

If this isn’t good enough – then you can force this on an individual mailbox (or all if you wanted) using the command;

start-managedfolderassistant USERID
