    If you mean flush just like you would on postfix, then I know what you mean. Open up Exchange Management Console on the machine and run this command:

    get-queue –SortOrder:-MessageCount

    You'll get a list of all the message queues that have undelivered mail, you can then:

    retry-queue ID-OF-QUEUE

    As far as flushing a particular mailbox of an actual user I don't think there's a way, but you can re-attempt delivery for specific delivery destinations with the above commands.
