You are correct on ExMerge and that is because it only supports ANSI PST's and they actually start to degrade at about 1.8GB so I would not go over that limit in order to ensure the data is recoverable 1. Here is an article on how to script the creation of overflow PST's if you reach the 2GB limit http://gsexdev.blogspot.com/2007/01/exporting-mailbox-larger-then-2-gb-and.html 2. Alternatively: * You can look at other tools like Kroll PC, Quest RM or Lucid8 DigiScope <http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp> that will allow you to export data from any mailbox on a Production server or from an offline EDB to Unicode PSTs and also has some other cool features * Since you only a few mailboxes you should consider just using Outlook 2003 or later to export each mailbox to a Unicode PST since it has a 20GB limit. (unless you are using Outlook 2010 and then you have a 50GB limit) When you create a new PST i.e. select "File/New/Outlook Data file" you will have the option of selecting "Office Outlook Personal Folders File (.PST)" which is the default selection that will create a Unicode PST or you can select Outlook Troy C.

I need to export a couple of mailboxes to PST prior to deleting them, and they are larger than the 2gb limit on Exmerge. I suspect I'm left with Outlook, so is there anything I need to do/know to ensure I get *everything* when trying to do a copy/archive at the mailbox level?
