Answer 1

You need to look into the mailbox diagnostic logs for this info, specifically the ELCLastSuccessTimestamp. Here's how to get it:

Export-MailboxDiagnosticLogs vasil -ExtendedProperties

Since it returns an XML blob, you might as well cast it as xml and do this:

[xml]$diag = (Export-MailboxDiagnosticLogs vasil -ExtendedProperties).MailboxLog
$diag.Properties.MailboxTable.Property | ? {$_.Name -like "ELC*"}

which will spill out all the relevant props:

Name                                    Value
----                                    -----
ElcLastRunTotalProcessingTime           169632

But if run MFA command multiple times , we're able to forcefully move emails items. As per my observation.
