I recently experienced an issue where multiple users for a mailbox were getting a "mailbox full" message in Outlook. When the message first appeared, I removed the storage quota on the mailbox, but after a server restart (and of course restarting the outlook clients), they were still getting prompted with the same message.
The solution ended up being to remove the .ost file for this particular mailbox (default location is %localappdata\Microsoft\Outlook) and then restarting the Outlook client (you will need to close Outlook before it will let you delete the .ost file)
The .ost file will automatically be re-created when Outlook is opened, and mail will then be downloaded back into the .ost file from the server.

Check which Exchange Mailboxes a User has Full Access or Send As Permissions On using Powershell
As an exchange administrator, you may occassionally need to know which mailboxes a particular user has Full Mailbox Access or Send As permissions to. This may be required as part of an audit, or to simply copy an existing users permissions for a new user you are setting up/creating.
The script below helps to accomplish this, as there is no in-built/easy way to view which mailboxes a particular user has access to - ie. Full Mailbox Access, or Send As permissions
First you need to specify the user whose existing access we are checking, using the $user variable. We use the wildcard "*" to essentially match any name that contains what is between the *'s - the users first name, last name or alias should work.
$user = "*peter*"
Next we run the get-mailbox cmdlet against all mailboxes in exchange, to query the permissions on each mailbox to see if this user exists in the respective permissions list.
There are two separate commands to do this - one to check for Full Access permissions, and the other to check for Send As permissions
get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | get-mailboxpermission | where {$_.user -like $user} | select Identity, AccessRights
get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | get-adpermission | where {($_.user -like $user) -and ($_.ExtendedRights -like "*Send-As*")} | select Identity, ExtendedRights
If any matches are found, the results will be displayed showing their Identity (ie. name) and the Access Rights level they have
