Selective mailbox items, folders export from OST file

Export selected emails, folders and its items from OST file

When exporting the OST file to PST, the original OST file may contain all the emails and folders. An organization would like to migrate only selected emails and folders rather than all the contents. For instance, junk email folders get accumulated with spam and unwanted mails over time. Exporting all such items to PST makes the target PST file size very large leading to corruptions. Filter options are highly useful in such scenarios to weed out unimportant mail items and selectively export mail data which are of interest to the user. Native or manual methods of export from OST to PST may not filter out all such items.

With EdbMails OST to PST converter, you can easily apply filters on the mail items to export only the required data from OST to PST. Just set the condition only to include/ exclude items from the export operation based on items received After/Before date, Subject, From, To, Cc, Bcc etc. during the export.

Exclude Standard Folders:

If you do not require the export of some standard folders, click the button ‘Exclude Standard / Custom folders’.

You can exclude the folders like ‘Inbox’, ‘Contacts’, ‘Calendars’, ‘Tasks’, ‘Journal’, ‘Sent Items’, ‘Outbox’, ‘ Drafts’, ‘Notes’, ‘Deleted Items’. By default, ‘Conversation History’ and ‘Junk Email’ folders are excluded.

Exclude Custom Folders:

Custom folders are those which are created by the user. There is an option to exclude custom folders. Just type the folder name and click on ‘Add’. Then click on ‘OK’.

Save the settings by clicking the ‘Save’ button.
