Hi All,
Due to some DNS reason we have mails stuck in our Exchange online queue in Pending status.
Now, I want to know the total number of mails that are stuck with Pending status.

All I could do was the below command
(Get-MessageTrace -Status pending -PageSize 5000 -Page 1).count
This lists 5000 which is obvious as I suspect that the numbers are in 20000s , so what would be the command to display the count?

    Something like this with $page set to 1 to start. Modify as needed
    https://www.quadrotech-it.com/blog/office-365-mail-traffic-statistics-by-user/ 

    do
{
$CurrMessages = Get-MessageTrace -Status pending -PageSize 5000 -Page $Page | Select Received,SenderAddress,RecipientAddress,Size
$Page++
$Messages += $CurrMessages
}
until ($CurrMessages -eq $null)
