What is the requirement for filtering emails from an Exchange server?

Organizations using Exchange servers for communication often find the requirement to archive and extract emails for various reasons. For instance, there might arise a need to export all emails from EDB to PST from a specific date range for legal and compliance reasons. Many times there is also a need to export the mailboxes and emails of employees who are no longer in the company. Another reason for the selective export is to move mailboxes to another Exchange (2016 or 2019) and leave behind the mail items that are no longer required. Exporting all the mailboxes in such situations does not make any sense. Considering many user queries carefully, let us look at two such methods of exporting Exchange 2019, 2016, 2013 and 2010 mailboxes for a specific date range to PST.

How to export an Exchange mailbox to PST for a Specific Date Range?

To export Exchange mailboxes to PST within a specific date range, run the New-MailboxExportRequest -ContentFilter PowerShell cmdlet on the Exchange management shell (EMS) or configure your online account on Outlook and use the Advanced Date filter for Sent and Received emails.

Export Exchange emails to PST by specific date

Steps to export Exchange mailboxes to PST by Date Range

  • Step 1: Create a Shared Network folder on your computer and copy the Network path
  • Step 2: Launch the EMS on your computer as a system administrator
  • Step 3: Run the New-MailboxExport request PowerShell cmdlet to filter your emails

    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox stevesmith@yourdomain.com -ContentFilter {(Received -gt '04/05/2022') -and (Received -lt '04/06/2022') -or (Sent -gt '01/02/2022') -and (Sent -lt '01/06/2022')} -Filepath "\\Network Location\Export folder\backup.pst

  • Note: The above command exports both sent and received emails using an OR filter from Steve Smith’s mailbox. The received emails are exported in the Date Range from May 4th, 2022 to June 4th, 2022 and the Sent emails are exported in the Date Range from February 1st, 2022 to June 1st, 2022 and finally saved in the specified network location path as backup.pst file.
  • Step 4: To export multiple mailboxes, create a CSV file and use a Foreach loop in the cmdlet

    $mailboxes = Get-Content "C:\Users\admin\Desktop\export_file.csv” foreach ($mailbox in ($mailboxes)) {New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $mailbox -ContentFilter {(Received -gt '04/05/2022') -and (Received -lt '04/06/2022') -or (Sent -gt '01/02/2022') -and (Sent -lt '01/06/2022')} -Filepath "\\Network Location\Export folder\$($mailbox).pst" }

  • Step 5: Execute the cmdlet Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics to verify the status of the export.
  • Step 6: Finally stop and remove the export request with the cmdlet Remove-MailboxExportRequest.

Limitations of using the PowerShell method of exporting Exchange mailboxes

  1. Thorough knowledge and expertise of running the PowerShell commands is required.
  2. This method fails to export mailboxes if the Exchange EDB file is corrupted.
  3. The PowerShell method of filtering emails may not work on all Exchange server versions.
  4. Cannot recover the Exchange database file from Jet Error corruptions
  5. Additional options such as exporting specific folders or based on other rules and conditions is not possible.
  6. The operation requires export permissions and access to a Shared Network folder on your computer.
  7. Not a very user friendly approach of exporting emails based on date range.
  8. Difficult and time-consuming export method when your mailboxes are very large or oversized.
