Exchange Exmerge PST missing attachments

Asked by whitzman in Exchange Email Server

Tags: Exchange 2007 Exmerge attachment attachments missing

I am using Exmerge to extract email from an Exchange 2007 SP 1 server using a date range (i.e. - last half of 2007) and store it in a PST file.
The version of Exmerge is v6.5.7529.0

The problem is that while Exmerge reports everything completed successfully, the resulting PST file is missing all the attachment data. When I open the PST, the attachment links exist in some of the emails but the attachment does not exist.

I've attached a log file from exmerge.
