I'm looking at components of a script using PowerShell to export MailBoxes that are accessible through Outlook but not Exchange. This needs to be done from a centralized location, so the MailBoxes will need to be fully downloaded and predicting the time required with a sleep command in insufficient.

What I'm looking for is a way to monitor the status of Outlook's folders within PowerShell.

Background: We have a large number of users on a Zimbra server that are looking at moving to Office 365. The ability to move those mailboxes through PST files via Outlook could be a significant factor in that decision, but can't be used if automation is not feasible. Without a way to programmatically monitor Outlook the process can not be automated.
