4.4.1. Export Mailbox to Live Exchange Server

Stellar Repair for Exchange allows you to export your repaired mailboxes to the mailbox of a mounted database on a Live Exchange Server. If your Exchange database is not mounted on the Live Exchange Server then perform a Dial Tone Recovery process to mount the database.

This screen can be used for functions such as setting priority to export the mailbox data, map source mailboxes to desired destination mailboxes, applying a filter for exporting the data, etc. See the Mapping of Mailboxes for Live Exchange Server section to know the detailed information about the Map Mailboxes screen.

Note: If the software doesn't finds a destination mailbox on Live Exchange Server to export the data from the source EDB file, then you have to manually create a new user mailbox on the destination server and export the data from the source EDB file to the new mailbox.
