Few times during last year, I had a “little” problems with moving mailboxes from one database to other. Generally, that is a simple process, but sometimes that’s not working as expected.
One of that problems is “queued” state.

If you want to run mailbox moving, you probably need to rebuild index content or restart Mailbox Replication service. Or both 🙂 Rebuilding content index is explained in one of my previous posts.
However, you can start with restarting Mailbox Replication service with PS command Restart-Service MSExchangeMailboxReplication, but if you still have a problem, you have to rebuild content index. After this action, your mailbox move request should start with copying files.
