Although Stellar Converter for EDB auto-maps source to destination mailboxes, it also provides a Create Mailbox option. This helps you create a new user mailbox on the destination Live Exchange server and then manually map the mailboxes to export the EDB mailboxes correctly.

Prerequisites

  1. Configure Outlook profile (destination Exchange) with Administrator rights on the system where Stellar Converter for EDB is installed.
  2. To create user mailboxes and export mailboxes on the destination server, the user must have full data access rights.

Steps to create mailbox in Stellar Converter for EDB:

  • Open Stellar Converter for EDB and select "Offline EDB" option.
  • Click 'Browse' to select the EDB file or use the 'Find' option to locate the EDB file in the available drives, folder, or sub-folder.
