MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Import 4Gb Mail Into Exchange 2003
I am running SBS W2K3 R2 with SP2. Exchange is configured to allow an unlimited amount of email per employee. I have a new wkstn running XP SP2 and Office 2007. A new employee joined the company and brought a CD with several .pst files from his previous company. The total size of all the .pst files combined is probably between 4-5Gb. I started to import them via the import wizard in Outlook 2007 and failed when the size of the .ost file hit approx 1.9 Gb. What can I do to import all the .pst files into the users mailbox. So, you already tried connecting the users outlook to exchage, then importing the Pst files? See if this articls helps you... http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/04/13/437745.aspx The article references Exchange 2007. I have SBS 2003 and Outlook 2007. Is the article still applicable. tks. > So, you already tried connecting the users outlook to exchage, then importing > the Pst files?

Hi Allen, unchecking the cached mode button will remove your .Ost file, which is the local copy of your exchange data. leaving it checked is generally recommended unless you are trying to recreate the .ost file due to some troubleshooting. It's the .ost file that lets you check your old mail when you are disconnected from the network. Let me doublecheck that article to see if its applicable to 2003, I assumed 207 for some reason. JT You can use the Exmerge tool from Microsoft to import pst files and export them. It works on 2003. Here's the link. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=429163ec-dcdf-47dc-96da -1c12d67327d5&displaylang=en > Hi Allen, > unchecking the cached mode button will remove your .Ost file, which is the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > JT I'll try exmerge. tks > You can use the Exmerge tool from Microsoft to import pst files and export > them.
