Need to export one mailbox on an Exchange Server to PST

   I just finished a Exchange migration. I had one mailbox that did not go good and I need to export the old Exchange data for that one mailbox to a PST. I can still get to the OWA but there is no option to export. Outlook use to have a way to manually set up an Exchange account but that has disappeared too. So.... is there a simple utility that will let me connect to a mailbox on an Exchange Server and export it to a PST?

I have no control over it whatsoever. It is a hosted Exchange Server and the company that hosts it kinda sucks.

Then configure Outlook profile and export to PST will be the easiest bet.


Can't. Autodiscover now points to Microsoft 365 and Outlook picks up their new Server. It was mentioned in the question but another way to phrase it would be "How do you add an email account to Outlook without using Autodiscover".

If the hosting company is not that good- Send them the below and and they can send the .pst to you when done.
1. Wherever the .pst file will be exported to they need to give that folder "Exchange Trusted Subsystem" security rights (Read/Write permission) before attempting to do the export

You can add a host entry for the autodiscover.domain.com which points to the exchange server and configure Outlook.

It was interesting. Setting you the Autodiscover in the hosts file "almost" worked but as soon as the prompt to login to their Microsoft Account popped up it went back to their Microsoft 365 account. Cancelling the login to their Microsoft account stopped everything. The silver bullet was to install Office 2013. Office 2013 never asked me t login to the Microsoft account.
