Export Public Folders


Migration, Export, Public folders, Exchange

I have a client that installed Windows 2003 SB Edition, and only uses the Exchange server piece for storing files (.doc, .xls, .eml) in the "Public Folders". All their email is handled by a local POP3 provider. I would prefer to move them off the Exchange server.

They have hundreds of complicated folders, and several hundred files stored inside the "Public Folders". I need a way to migrate the folder and file structure to a local share on the computer. I can do it manually, but wow... what a bear. I have to manually recreate all the folders, and then I can drag and drop the files... very time consuming.

I'm looking for a utility that will help me do this. Any information, and/or tips and tricks, would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards, Bill Burriss

I don't know of a tool which will do this. I'm guessing that a manual creating of folders and dragging the files out will be your best bet.

Hi Bill. You did a great job of choosing Tags for your question but they were all combined into a single sentence. I broke that long sentence into individual tags.
