Restore Exchange 2016 Mailbox to different Mailbox user on same Server (Success but no mails)

Hello,

i would like to restore a user mailbox from my last Exchange 2016 CU20 Backup to restore to a different Mailbox user on the same Exchange 2016 CU21 Server.

I tried some restores with a restore to pst, but this didn´t work.

So i tried to restore a single user mailbox to a new "MailboxRestore" user account.
This new user account has a mailbox with 20GB Limits, the user MailboxRestore has logged on to his mailbox.

I tried a restore of a usermailbox with about 400mails to this new user.

Restore was fine, but no mails have been restored?

any idea why i don´t get any restored mails?

Thanks

Jürgen

      Thanks,

      no i can´t restore the mailbox to the same user (CEO).
      I need to restore the mailbox to a new clean mailbox and transfer mails later.

      So i created a new user at the same Exchange 2016 server.

      This is the job log
