Import PST to Exchange server

As organizations grow and data becomes increasingly complex, the need to import PST files into an Exchange server is a common challenge faced by IT administrators. PST (Personal Storage Table) files store vital data such as emails, contacts, calendar events, and attachments from Microsoft Outlook, but relying on individual PST files can lead to data fragmentation, security vulnerabilities, and difficulties in managing and accessing critical information across the organization. Centralizing this data by importing PST files into an Exchange server offers improved collaboration, data security, and regulatory compliance, while ensuring all email data is easily managed within a single infrastructure.

EdbMails Exchange migration software offers the feature to import bulk PST files into the Exchange server. The software is compatible with various versions of Exchange server, including Exchange 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010 and 2007. It supports importing multiple PST files at once, simplifying the migration and enhancing the performance.

Multiple PST to Exchange

EdbMails offers advanced features such as incremental migration, ensuring that only new data is transferred during subsequent imports, eliminating duplicates. The software handles large PST files and ensures that folder hierarchy, email metadata, and attachments are preserved. EdbMails supports concurrent migration, enabling multiple PST files to be imported simultaneously, improving efficiency during large-scale migrations. You have the option to create a separate folder in the target mailbox with a name matching the source PST file.
