Exchange server 2003 .pst file storage

LITParadise — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 07:44:06 +0000

Hi Guys

I need to know how does Exchange server 2003 store e-mails eg I have a workstation that is configured to use exchange mail via Outlook 2003, and I need to format it and I can`t see the .pst file from this machine. Is it saved somewhere on Exchange Server.

My clients/workstations are running on a domain environment and everything is working fine except this challenge I`m facing.

Exchange Root Folder and Mailbox Quota

Shiv — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 05:26:54 +0000

I have a user who is being notified by Exchange that his mailbox is over the size limit. When I check via system manger, his mailbox is 108MB. If I open his mailbox via Outlook ( 2000 or 2003 ), the folder size shows < 1MB. The Outlook Today folder has about 50K in it. I used the EXCHNG32 client with the same results. If I exmerge the mailbox to a pst, it is < 1MB in size. I’ve moved the mailbox between mail stores on the same server and it remains 108MB through ESM. I decided to move the mailbox to an Exchange 2003 server using the 2003 ESM. It shows the progress of the move, listing each Outlook folder and the item count as the move takes place. I noticed that it showed that the user has 800+ items in his Root folder. After the mailbox was moved it again showed 108MB, though Outlook shows 1MB. I know now that the extra data is in the Root folder, but I cannot find a way to view it. Any suggestions would be appreciated

How do I save old emails onto my computer from Exchange 2003 when they are kept on the server? I do not want to have too many on the server taking space. We are using Outlook 2003 on the desktops and notebooks. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks

Exchange 2003 Email storage

Tomtek207 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:14:10 +0000

I setup Exchange 2003 server for the users. Each user system is using Outlook 2003 to access their email thru exchange.

The email is being stored on the server so they can access their email off site thru web mail.

How can I have them copy and store their emails to their computers to free up room off of the server? I don;t want to use up too much server space for all of the old emails. Any suggestions please?

Is there a way I check to see how much space the emails are using so far on the server?

Thanks

Exchange mailbox exceeding the maximum of 500 objects

Clorox — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:36:11 +0000

We have a mailbox that is used by one of our departments that has a lot of folders and saved emails. I have allowed 4 users to view this large mailbox from within their own mailbox. When they open their mailboxes it generates an event id 9646. I understand that there are to many objects and I can change the registry to allow more objects and eliminate this error message. The MS article led me to belive that by doing this it could have adverse effects on the operation of our exchange server. What are my options? Archiving the large mailbox is out. Can I make that mailbox a public folder and avoid generating this event id? Is there more underlying issues happening that I am not aware of? Thanks for any help!
