No I disabled the mailbox then cleaned the database.

I did some reading, it could be that the mailbox was empty, that s why it did not show up in disconnected mailbox

Run the commands I gave you, it will show the deleted mailbox.

I did run that command, before I posted this question, but it did not find the disabled mailbox.

I did not check if that mailbox was empty...it has been created just recently...
I wonder if an empty mailbox gets disabled if it will show in the Disconnected Mailbox .

if the mailbox is empty, would it show up in disconnected mailboxes, after disabling it and running the clean database ?
