I am using the import and export feature in Outlook 2003 to make maiboxes to a pst , since Exmerge limit is 2 gig. Do i have to wait until all items in the mailbox update before i export? Some of theses Mailboxes takes hours to update, and that is a lot of time to be waiting just to export it to a pst. i would appreciate your feedback.
This problem can be resolved easily by using a third party edb to pst conversion software like Stellar Phoenix EDB to PST Converter. There is no pst file size limitation issue with this tool. If you have sufficient permission to access your Exchange server, you can quickly export your mailbox to pst with this application. It provides a quick and effective solution to convert edb to pst as they are incorporated with simple and self-descriptive graphical user interface.
Although Exmerge.exe tool offers many advantages, it has some limitations and size limitation is one the most common issue with this utility. You can either upgrade to latest version or use a third party EDB to PST Converter application to export mailbox to pst.
There are many third party products exists in the market and all able to perform the edb to pst conversion. However, some of them do not generate the results accurately or completely. I would suggest to try demo version first of the tool before going to buy the product. One such tool that quickly exports exchange mailbox to pst file is: http://www.recover-computerdata.com/exchange-server-recovery.html
This application supports all versions of MS Exchange Server and also have the option to rebuild the .edb file in case of corruption.
Export mailbox to PST means convert data exchange server to Outlook, It is very easy with the help of third party tool because if you want to export the exchange file to Outlook file then it is not without converting EDB file to PST file. To convert EDB to PST file you can try Stellar Phoenix EDB to PST Converter and it is supportable with Outlook version 2003, 2007, 2010.

For easy EDB to PST conversion you can go with this utility can not convert your EDB to PST file format but can also easily repair and recovery of corrupt EDB files through its deep and standard scan properties.
To avoid limit of 2 gb pst or want to export mailboxes into bulk, 3rd parties are better option.Exmerge (for 2003) and cmdlets (for 207 & 2010) is good to go with initial database but whenever mailboxes are very prone then exporting of mailboxes into pst format is best way with any solid edb pst application (if want to do it via ms outlook then ost to pst application). A solid exchange edb to pst converter have numerous strong things such as:
Corruption Handling: If edb file might get corrupt, tool should be repair and fix corruptions
Deleted mailbox recovery: In case any emails or other data get deleted, it should be possible to recover.
Pub & Priv Mailboxes: Exporting of both public mailboxes (pub.edb) and private mailboxes (priv.edb) should be allowed. All types edb file must supported
Normal & Advance Scan: Product should have both option so that exporting from highly damaged edb (via advance scan) and healthy or minutely corrupted edb (via normal scan) can be done properly.
Technology Advancement: Application must be included algorithms of all advance and latest technologies so that compatibility issues are never encountered. Functioning should be also very readable.
All things are founded in an EDB Converter tool that I had deployed for exporting complete mailboxes into pst format from Exchange server 2003, 2007 & 2010.
simple yet effective application to export all exchange mailboxes from Exchange to Outlook pst files is EDB to PST converter. very compatible to all Windows OS, Exchange server editions and gives expected output in .pst format. truly appreciable software with great functions. by maintaining the true mailboxes properties export edb to pst. related info:
recently used this edb conversion software and got good results for extracting exchange mailboxes to outlook. the process of extracting is very easier and software is fully interactive and compatible. also the tool is safe to use. all my expectations are fully satisfied and edb is exported to pst files.
For easy and quick exporting of your mailboxes whose size is more than 2 GB present and present in Exchange Database(EDB) to the PST format, I can recommend you a utility tool which in my case performed a similar sort of operation quite quickly beyond my expectations. Besides this it also repaired my corrupt EDB from time to time whenever it suffers a hardware or software malfunction and to know more features of the tool go to http://www.edbtopstutility.com/
Completely remove all limitations (specially which you mentioned) with the help of commercial tools. I am using a very inexpensive and feature-rich (bulk export, no size limit etc) app that had deployed from a software company. Application is superb to do exporting of large sized mailboxes as speed is very high.
For archiving Exchange mailboxes there is defiantly no need to mess up with Exchange server. You can do it directly with Exmerge but Exmerge has still some limitation. You can go for some automated applications to get instant & harmless results.
The application recommended by you “PCVITA EDB Converter”, works just the way you have stated. Really it’s a remarkable application to sort down the issues regarding to export entire Exchange EDB mailboxes to PST file.
Finally I have archive all mailboxes from my server without spending must time & efforts!!

Although both way are right to get exchange mailboxes into pst format but both will take few issues:
Exmerge is best way to directly export all mailboxes to pst file (in exchange 2003) and no need to update but it has limit of 2 gb, bulk export, require permissions and settings etc.
Exporting exchange mailboxes to pst using MS Outlook is also good way but these are the few circumstances:
• If mailbox sizes are large, it will take time to download the whole items (As you told for updating) • If few accounts are not configured, you cannot backup those accounts data • If data size will grow (more than 4gb) there are complete chances for ms outlook will not be responding or ost corruption • Large size of mailboxes will also take more time to exporting mailboxes into pst (Using Import and Export function of MS Outlook)
To avoid all these circumstances and get error-free exporting of exchange mailboxes to pst file, calling for 3rd parties apps is wise decision. Only desired application should be very reliable.
A most reliable and recommended app for exporting purpose is edb converter. I acquired it due to High speed and support of all type edb files (pub.edb, priv.edb, mailbox database.edb, archive.edb) in all conditions (corrupt, orphaned, inaccessible, dismounted, local etc).
