hello. thanks for the time and effort.
I am looking to move my journal mailbox from one Exchange server to another. Currently the journal mailbox is 10gb size. I saw this article and it seemed fairly simple.

1. add the new Exchange server
2. create the journal mailbox on the new Exchange server
3. stop the journal task service
4. wait the journal queues are clear
5. point to the journal task to the new journal mailbox
6. point Exchange mailbox servers to the new journal mailbox
6. start journaling services
What would happen if I just move (mailbox move) the current journal mailbox to the new Exchange server? I would still have to add the server to EV Exchange servers. And wouldn't it consume a lot of time moving it? Also what happens to the messages that are trying to reach the journal mailbox? do they get stuck in a queue?
Thanks for the time.
