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.
