Move emails on server to non-domain Outlook program

Hi

I have an SBS 2003 server which handles emails to my workstation (which is using Outlook), but may be switching the server off in the near future and running a standalone non-domain PC instead.

Is it possible to transfer the emails from within SBS 2003, to a standalone PC running Outlook as a non-Exchange program?

Thanks.

I am assuming you are currently connected to Exchange (which will basically save the cache of mails in a file with .ost extension.

In order keep mails accessible in a NON-Exchange Environment, you could add a new Personal Data File (should end with .pst extension) and move all mail content from OST file to PST file.

Please note that it is important to carry out this activity while ur exchange connection is still alive
