Reasons for Moving Mailboxes (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298174(v=exchg.141).aspx)

 

You may need to move mailboxes in the following scenarios:

  • Transition   When you transition an existing Exchange 2007 or Exchange Server 2003 organization to Exchange 2010, you move mailboxes from the existing Exchange servers to an Exchange 2010 Mailbox server.

  • Realignment   You can move mailboxes for realignment purposes. For example, you may want to move a mailbox from one database to a database that has a larger mailbox size limit.

  • Investigating an issue   If you need to investigate an issue with a mailbox, you can move that mailbox to a different server. For example, you can move all mailboxes that have high activity to another server.

  • *** Corrupted mailboxes   If you encounter corrupted mailboxes, you can move the mailboxes to a different server or database. The corrupted messages won’t be moved.***
