Having problem moving a mailbox

Question:

I moved a user mailbox from one server to another one. It was successful. But I still can see his mailbox under the old store, though the size is much smaller. When I ran cleanup agent it showed me a red X. Then I can either do reconnect or purge. I have never seen that before. The mailbox should disappear from the old store. The user was able to connect to his new mailbox. any idea why it happened like this? the user has a blackberry. I don't think it will be the cause. I moved user with blackberry befor
e

Answer:

_Seen this before, where the mb would move and be in the original and new location, ended up being some AD issue possibly with not being able to update the directory object attributes after the move, homemdb, homemta, msexchhomeservername. Anything in the event logs?
_Try moving the mailbox back - it won't move, but *may* give you an error that a mailbox was detected on the target mailbox store (2003), and prompt you to remove it.
