Clear down MS Exchamge Mailstore

[Nikumba]

We have a mailbox database that we need to clear down all the mail in it, but keep all the mailboxes intact. Using Exchange 2010 Sp3

What is the best way to do this?

I have read someone suggested to dismount the mailbox store, delete the files for it, remount it and it will re-create all the mailboxes etc this true?

Any other options?

Thanks

Kimbie

There are 250+ accounts, that we need to clear down, but not delete the mailbox as for the time being we need to keep all the exchange forwarding in place
