Google also uses this for Gmail, so if you run an export job, you’ll end up with a MBOX file. (Side note: PSTs are bad, but they do function well as a way of transporting a large chunk of mail from one place to another). PSTs will be familiar to those of us in the Windows world, as it’s one of the old formats Outlook will use. Stellar Exchange Toolkit seems to do what it claims well, and I look forward to trying more features in the future.Ī MBOX file is similar to a PST file, in that it contains a collection of emails. Worth checking out these tools if you run into a scenario where you need them – sometimes there’s a freeware or open source solution, but often they don’t work, are old, unreliable or limited in functionality. It’s an interesting array of tools, and I’ll try to report back on whether this tool does the job well or not. I can see the other functions of this product being useful for someone who’s often dealing with other companies’ data, old data that needs to be restored, or extracting out a mailbox from an online Exchange server. For HTML and PDF, it will create a file per email with the same subject name. It also then lets me take out those emails in a variety of ways – for example, I can select a folder and then export all contents of that folder into several formats, such as PST, MSG, PDF, HTML and RTF. I then realised there’s a few use cases for this tool that are handy to me personally if I need to go into a mailbox to get something out, this is much easier than adding a second mailbox or profile.
Again, there’s several options, but I tried connecting to a live Exchange 2010 server to extract emails:Īfter connecting, again I was presented with an Outlook style of emails. The resulting PST file was readable via Outlook 2016, so the product does exactly what it says on the virtual box.Īnother part of the toolkit I looked at, was the Mailbox Extractor. I was impressed with the options to export directly to Exchange Server and Office 365! But for me, I was happy with a PST. If you need to export the results, there’s a bunch of useful options: There’s also a search function, which is handy if you’re just after a particular email from the OST. It does take a little while to process, but displays the results in a nice Outlookesque GUI: I tested the Exchange Toolkit on an Outlook 2016 OST file I’d copied off another computer, that was 2GB in size. Also if you only want a more basic OST to PST converter, they sell that by itself for a lot less.) (It’s also worth noting this isn’t cheap software. Primarily I was interested in OST to PST conversion, as I’ve tried to do this before and had no luck with free solutions, and wanted to try a paid product that could solve the problem. I only accept these when I can see a personal interest in what the product does. Stellar Data Recovery reached out to me to see if I was interested in reviewing their product.
