Hi,

Is there a freeware tool is needed to convert EDB
to PST ? (I recovered a h/w problem, but I only have the MDB dir where EDB files stay and want to use them in the new installation of Exc2000 on a new disk).

I found tools, but they are very expensive.

Due to the nature of the .EDB file's structure in holding multiple mailboxes, converting your EDB to a single PST would not be possible; however there are tools that allow you to export individual mailboxes to separate .PST files.

The tool I have used for several years is a freeware tool developed by some support engineers at Microsoft and is available for download from Microsoft at the following URL: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=429163EC-DCDF-47DC-96DA-1C12D67327D5&displaylang=en

I am not sure of the condition of your EDB file, but in order to utilize this utility your mailbox store must be mounted and the user operating the tool must have full access to all mailboxes that are to be exported.

I hope this helps

Oops I didn't notice where I was - this is a public folder forum [Frown]

I doubt my above post will help [Smile]

However, if you are using Outlook, simply select the top of your public folder tree and from the [File] menu select

1) 'Import and Export'
2) 'Export to File'
3) 'Personal Folder File (.PST)
4) Check the 'Include Subfolders' box
5) ... I think you can figure it out from here:)
