My environment is as follows.
2 HUB Transport Servers, Backend Mail Cluster using CCR.

I have noticed over the past several days that mail seems to queue while
being delivered to the mailbox Cluster.

I run the Command
get-queue -SortOrder:-MessageCount -Results:1 | fl

Output as follows
Identity : ServerXXX\8884
DeliveryType : MapiDelivery
NextHopDomain : SERVER.Domain.corp
NextHopConnector : 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
Status : Active
MessageCount : 17
LastError :
LastRetryTime : 12/31/2008 10:07:11 AM
NextRetryTime :
IsValid : True
ObjectState : Unchanged

I noticed that the retry time was 17-18 minutes ago. As soon as the next
retry time fires the mail is flushed.

Is this normal? It seems like mail is not delivered until a retry. I'm not
even sure if this is something that can be set.

The default retry interval is 5 minutes for MAPI delviery queue. Check the
configuration file EdgeTransport.exe.config under Bin folder.

It appears to be set for 5 minutes.

I have been analyzing the queue for about a day now and there are always
some messages queued up for Mapi Delivery. The queue always says Active as
well. When I try and do a retry-queue through command shell the command does
not seem to take....

I'm wondering if there is some sort of issue with RPC/MAPI performance that
is causing the issue. I'm not exactly sure how I would troubleshoot this
though.

Sure, it the queue is active, there is nothing to retry.

Could be a performance issue yes. Do you have any monitoring set up?
Any errors in either the event logs of the HT or mailbox servers?
If you fail-over, does it get better?

point being, the MAPI queue is active but, no mail is transmitted.
