The application is simple to use with a graphical user interface. You can perform the recovery and export operation without requiring any technical knowledge and it supports EDB files from Exchange 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003 and 2000. The following steps describe the EDB conversion operation with EdbMails.

• Step 1: Download EdbMails EDB to PST converter software setup

  • Download EdbMails and install the application. You can also perform the recovery and export by installing EdbMails on a non-Exchange server computer.

     See a detailed list of EdbMails system requirements for Exchange recovery.

    

  • Launch the application and click 'Login' or 'Start Your Free Trial'.

    

  • Select the recovery technique as 'EDB to PST, EDB to Office 365 and EDB to Exchange'.

    

• Step 2: Select the offline EDB file to repair and convert

  Before starting the repair operation, take a copy of the EDB file as a backup. Browse and select the EDB from your computer that you want to convert. EdbMails does not require an active Exchange server or Active Directory (AD) to perform the EDB to PST conversion. It can also recover mailbox.edb, pub.edb, priv,edb and STM files from Exchange 2000 and 2003.

  

  Tip: If you are using Exchange 2003 then EdbMails will automatically look for the corresponding STM file in the same location. For Exchange 2007 or above, the STM file is no longer used.

• Step 3: Export the mailboxes from EDB to PST

  After EdbMails repairs the EDB file, you can preview the mail items such as emails, contacts, folders, notes, tasks, calendars from the application’s preview pane. Click on the individual mail items if you want to export them to HTML, MHT and EML formats.

  Tip: EdbMails can recover and convert deleted Exchange mail items to PST.

  1. Click the 'Show All the folders' check box which is present above the Tree view as shown.
  2. Expand the mailbox and navigate to the 'Recoverable Items' folder.
  3. Click the 'Deletions' folder to view the deleted mails.

  

  Select the required mailboxes / folders and click the 'Export to Outlook PST' button to continue. Alternatively, you can right click on the selected mailboxes / folders and select the option 'Export Selected Mailboxes / Folders to PST'.

  

  Tip: EdbMails provides the following additional options to help you customize the EDB to PST export operation based on a Date and other mailbox rules.

  1. Additional Include and Exclude Filter Options.
  2. Filter emails by Date: Export emails to PST by applying the Date filter.
  3. Split the target PST file into multiple smaller files upon reaching the user-defined size.
  4. Filter emails by Size: Exclude emails and attachments from the export, which are larger than a specified size.
  5. Create separate PST files for every selected folder and subfolder.

  

  Add a suitable label to the job for identification. This enables you to quickly load the application’s settings for future export operations. You can view all the labels by clicking 'View Log' that contains all the details of the previous operation.

  

  Verify the mailboxes and folder that you have selected for the export. Select the Action as 'Export' and start the conversion.

  

  If the PST location has not been selected before, then the application will prompt you to select the export location. Select the PST location where you want to save the exported data. Ensure that you have enough free disk space to store the PST files.

  

  That's it! During export operation, you can view the progress as shown below where you can also pause and resume the export.

  

  An appropriate message will be displayed on completion of the export operation.

  Start Microsoft Outlook and add the exported PST file to verify the items such as emails, calendars, contacts, notes and so on.
