(200MB was large.) a 2GB Mailbox was considered un Imaginable.... Thus There was no need to make a tool that did this.

From: Troyw on 31 May 2010 12:45 Jaredean, you are correct in your outline of Exmerge limitations and of course as you say you can export the mailboxes from outlook as well and then import them via outlook on the new system. The 2GB limitation comes from the fact that Exmerge only supports the ANSI format which has a 2GB limit. Further regarding Outlook 97 - 2002 Personal File Folders (PST Format) only supported the ANSI format and for that reason a PST can be no larger than 2GB. Outlook 2003 forward uses the UNICODE format which supports PST files up to 20GB. OS if you opt for the OUtlook export/import method be sure to use Outlook 2003 or greater AND when you create a PST ensure its a UNICODE PST. Alternatively you might try checking out Lucid8's DigiScope product http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp since it allows you to do everything that Exmerge does and more.

However, this appears to be a *very* expensive solution for the money, and even the 3 month version for a small company requires the multiple PST support, I think - ending up to be about $675 for 3 months only. If I would spend such amounts for a tool, I would prefer that the software is an unlimited time-period one only, and even if you buy the perpetual one, it cannot be transferred to another server/store, interestingly enough! -- SuperFlyBoy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperFlyBoy's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/68753.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/small-business-server/1341985.htm http://forums.techarena.in

There is a way from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010... And as always the expectation is that you moved to Exchange 2007 three years ago. Sorry...
