Hello everyone. I want to know how many size of messages in mailbox and using New-mailboxsearch. If i use CAS i see my mailbox size equal 126MB, but if i use New-mailboxsearch and return all values, i see 450MB in console log and powershell log. How? The mailbox also uses archive, but archive size equal 2MB. I tried export found result to PST, and PST size was equal 126MB how mailbox. Why CAS sees 450MB if i use New-mailboxsearch and sees 126MB in information about user's mailbox?
P.S. I used this code for create task

Hi @GhostWins ,
I have read a Microsoft official blog on New-MailboxSearch, it says that we use the New-MailboxSearch cmdlet to create a mailbox search and either get an estimate of search results.
If you want to get more accurate mailbox size, you could run the following command to check the mailbox total size:
Get-MailboxStatistics -Identity user | fl
Me need to know how many size of messages in mailbox from DATE range. Sorry my mistake, i didn't write it.
If you want to know how many size of messages in your mailbox from data range, you indeed should run -complianceSearch command to do it.
According to your testing results, the unindexedsize equal 119MB, which indicates that the total number and size of partially indexed items in the locations that were searched are listed in the search result statistics, since compliance search includes partially indexed items in the estimated search results when you run a search. In Exchange, a partially indexed item typically contains a file (of a file type that can't be indexed) that is attached to an email message. For more details: Partially indexed items in eDiscovery and Investigating partially indexed items in eDiscovery
This point maybe causes the different results of messages size in mailbox.

Hello
Thank you for your question and reaching out.
In Exchange Server and Exchange Online, the maximum size of discovery mailboxes, which are used to store In-Place eDiscovery search results, is 50 GB. Prior to the current size limit, you were able to increase the storage quota to more than 50 GB, which resulted in having discovery mailboxes much larger than 50 GB.
Note: As of October 2020, the *-MailboxSearch cmdlets are retired in Exchange Online PowerShell. Use the *-ComplianceSearch cmdlets in Security & Compliance Center PowerShell instead.

Ok, i have used new-compliancesearch cmdlet and have this result.
What is means? Size of mailbox over 300MB, and new unindexedsize equal 119MB.
My mailbox size equal
I don't understand why this results don't same.
Now i have used this code
New-ComplianceSearch -Name "test1" -ExchangeLocation test
Why cmdlet result and CAS information don't same?
