Importing PST files in Exchange 2003.

Dear All,

I have an MDaemon email server that utilises PST files for users mailboxes. Is it possible to import the PST files into Exchange 2003 so my users can access their historical emails?

Thanks

TC

Thanks for the prompt response.

I only have about 40 users with an average mailbox size of 300mb. But I do have a few people with PST’s of about 800mb.

Thanks in advance,

TC.

Hmm - are those PST files standard Outlook PST files? Were you using the Outlook Connector for MDaemon? If so you can leave them as PST files and simply open them in each users version of Outlook. From then on the users will have new mail delivered to the exchange server but will retain the old mail in local or, preferably, networked PST files. I wouldn't import them back into Exchange as you're just cluttering up a nice shiny new exchange server with all the user's old junk. Also, you won't have to go to the eEnterprise versiona nd you'll save a wad of cash!

So, I'd just stick them in each user's personal network share and let Outlook open them from there.

The PST’s are generic Outlook generated files. We have not been using the MDaemon connector you mentioned.

I guess, the best idea would be to insist everybody does stringent “house keeping” before the new server / import is carried out.

Thanks again,
