Mailbox movement between exchange server

I have installed new exchange server 2003 in my environment and moving users
from existing exchange server 2003 as the mailbox count reaches more than
4000. For few mailboxes what i have observed that after succesfull movement
to new exchange server, still i can see his mailbox on old server whtih red
mark and showing size in few KBs wit no items. Although i can see his mailbox
on new location and user dont have any issues.
Please advice its a normal behaviour or going to be a problem for me?
thanks in antcipation.
Regards,
Taj

I've seen this behaviour in a few cases and we never had any troubles
afterwards. The remaining mailbox will be deleted with the normal
maintenance cycle or whatever you've configured for retention time on the
store.
