Dump user's Exchange mailbox to explorer while retaining folder structure

  • 772

I have a user who will be retiring in a few days. He's been tasked with dumping out all mail that is related to the organization's customers and classifying it under our organizational structure before he goes. I'd like to make his life a little easier by dumping all of his mail from his pst to a folder that retains his inbox folder structure. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

  1. The Personal Storage Table format is at its core a binary tree database, much like the Extensible Storage Engine format that Exchange Mailbox Database files are based on, and the contents are not directly transferable to the filesystem.

    If you want to interact with, and extract items from a .pst file, you'll need to use Microsoft's PST File Format SDK, and develop a custom tool to do so.

    If you just want to browse the contents of the PST, you can use the accompanying PST ViewTool
