Find mail stuck in Outbox with Powershell on Exchange 2010

I needed to find all shared mailboxes and check if they had any "stuck" mail in Outbox:

Get-Mailbox -OrganizationalUnit 'domain.com/exchange resources' |  `
Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -FolderScope Outbox |  `
ft identity,name,itemsinfolder -AutoSize

I also wrote a quickliner for getting all mailboxes with items more than 0 in Outbox:
Get-Mailbox -resultsize unlimited|  `
Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -FolderScope Outbox |  `
where {$_.itemsinfolder -gt '0'} |  `
ft identity,name,itemsinfolder -AutoSize

Thanks for the scripts. Very useful.

Thanks, just what I was looking for. The script did show one email stuck in the outbox for one account. Question: How can I actually view the Outbox in OWA for Exchange 2013 since I don't have ready access to the desktop system configured for this account?
