Can you export a mailbox from Exchange 2007 using the Outlook 2007 client?
Hello all,
I've been reading up on the cmdlet 'Export-mailbox' and I have to install the Exchange tools 32bit on a client computer running a 32bit OS yada yada yada but if I go into the EMC and give myself Full Access to one of the mailboxes I want to export and then go back to my client and open that mailbox in my Outlook. Then I can go to File-->Import/Export...--> and follow the procedure there for that mailbox and export to a pst. It seems doable but is it? If I do run it, the export won't delete the contents of the mailbox right?
Has anyone tried it this way instead of using the powershell script?
Thanks a lot,
BW

I export out of my exchange several times. I have never had an issue and even if you did wipe out the box on the server, you can always import the data back in. I had to export when switching from another vendors hosted email to my own internal server. It saved me a ton of work with the vendor and worked like a charm for all of my users. We didn't lose a thing

Which method did you use? The Export-mailbox one or doing it through your client?
