You can use EdbMails to export Exchange mailboxes, Public folder and Archive mailboxes to PST. The following steps describe the export operation.
The Organization Management is an elevated role that is required to migrate or export mailboxes and Public folders from the source to the PST file.
Log in as a global admin if you are migrating mailboxes on behalf of other users in your organization. If you do not have the necessary permissions, set the impersonation rights for the admin user account on the Exchange server. Verify if the source and target admin account in general has the following management roles assigned:
The administrator who is performing the export must have a non hidden mailbox on the source server.
Before you perform the export operation, ensure that you have valid mailboxes for all your users in your organization and assign suitable licenses to them if there is not one already.
If you plan to export the Public folders to PST, create and configure the Public folder mailboxes on the target server.
For exporting mailboxes to PST by using EdbMails, you need to have Microsoft Outlook installed on your computer. Install the latest applicable updates for MS Outlook and ensure that you have sufficient space on your computer to save the output PST file.
For a successful PST export operation, you must create a new Outlook profile. See how to create an Outlook profile for a single user and create an Outlook profile for all users in a domain.

In the Connect to Exchange server (Source) window, select 'Connect using Global Admin User'. You can also connect to the mailboxes by loading a CSV file. Refer to the link for instructions on how to use the different Exchange server connection methods supported by EdbMails.
With EdbMails, you can migrate mailboxes, public folders, and archive mailboxes from Exchange to the target server.
EdbMails provides the following additional options to help you customize the export operation based on a Date and other mailbox rules.
Add a label to your export job for identification and specify a location to save the PST file. You can view all the labels by clicking 'View Log' that contains the mailbox mapping details of the previous operation.
Select the export method as 'Full export to Outlook PST' or 'Incremental export'. With the incremental export and migration, only the newly added or updated items in your mailboxes are considered for the export. The initial export with EdbMails is always a full one. Browse the location where you want to save the PST file and start the export.
After EdbMails finishes the operation, you can verify the number of items, folders and mailboxes with the log report. Finally, open the PST file in Outlook to view and verify the output file.
