Migrating a complex folder structure between Exchange On-Premise and Office365 (Hybrid Mode)

Guys, I am having a major pain migrating a user within a Hybrid configuration between Exchange 2010 on premise and O365. I have migrated 300 users to date without issue and am left with this user.
I have troubleshot the error logs but no luck yet. One thing that jumps out at me from reading the logs is that the user has a whopping 1,477 folders. I would imagine this might be an issue, but wondering if there are limits or a history of very large folder structures causing issue.

Probably you are hitting the bad number limit? Any particular errors?

@Sudhir,

Have reviewed those limits and believe this may be my issue, but can't be sure, is there a good tool to do a specific folder count under folders ?
Folders have been reduced to 791, so now it's not a limit issue. Started migration again and still it comes up Mailbox is locked after a period of running through the below process. I have got a printout of the folder structure. Are there certain symbols or lengths that are not allowed and i can search? otherwise does the below shed any light as to where the issue is ?
