I am a Linux admin and I have to manage some Windows hosts too. I want to flush the mails for a particular mailbox in Exchange 2007. How I can do that ?

Can you describe what you mean by "flush the mails" - do you want to delete the whole mailbox of a user? – mfinni Sep 15 '10 at 20:12

If you mean flush just like you would on postfix, then I know what you mean. Open up Exchange Management Console on the machine and run this command:

get-queue –SortOrder:-MessageCount

You'll get a list of all the message queues that have undelivered mail, you can then:

retry-queue ID-OF-QUEUE

As far as flushing a particular mailbox of an actual user I don't think there's a way, but you can re-attempt delivery for specific delivery destinations with the above commands.
