Exporting and Downloading Exchange Online Mailbox Items, Folders or Messages

Applies to: User Mailbox, Journal Mailbox, ContentStore Mailbox

You can export mailbox items, folders, or messages to an export set, change the format of the items to fit your needs, and download the exported PST or CAB file. Exporting automatically creates an export set.

The following file formats are supported when you export email messages:

  • PST (Portable Storage Table)

  • CAB (cabinet file)

By default, the maximum amount of data that you can export to PST or CAB is 25 GB. The size limitation applies to the total size of emails exported from the Office 365 app and does not apply to exports from Compliance Search or Case Manager.

Note

  • When the size of the data to export exceeds 25 GB, the export job does not start and an error message appears. You can use the restore option or split the data into smaller export jobs.

  • When multiple mailboxes are exported to a PST file, all the emails are exported from all the mailboxes into a single PST file. You can export emails from multiple mailboxes into separate PST files.

Before You Begin

  • The user must have Browse, Download, In place restore, and Out of place restore permissions on the subclient where the Exchange mailbox is configured in the CommCell Console.

  • Archive operations must have run on the mailbox.

  • You must install Microsoft Outlook 64-bit on the Web Server.
