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.
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.
Important
To export email data, you will need a Windows Web Server. Exporting email data is not supported on Linux Web Server.
