Export-Mailbox results in 'Error occurred in step: Approving Object'

Question

Hello,
We have been encountering an issue trying to use the Export-Mailbox command to a .pst, specifically error code -2147221233. I have tried many of the solutions recommended in other threads, including checking installed KBs, verifying permissions, running
fixmapi, but so far none of addressed the problem.
Any help would be appreciated. The following is the log file output:

Hi  CFBM
Thank you for your question.
This is a permission related error. It means you have not permission to access user mailbox.
You can try to give yourself full access permission to user mailbox
