But sometimes, you may require specific data and need to export information from a mailbox to PST for a certain date range instead of the entire mailbox. This can be done by using the Exchange Management Shell (EMS) cmdlets or third-party EDB to PST converter software. Unlike EMS, the software features a GUI interface which makes it&#8217;s much more easier to export selected mailbox and mail items for specific date range in a few clicks.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.stellarinfo.com\/micro\/StellarConverterforEDB.exe\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"213\" height=\"55\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarservertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/free-download-large-1.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1424\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless,&nbsp;if you want to export Exchange mailbox for a particular date range to PST, we have explained both methods below in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you demand to export Exchange mailbox for a particular date range, follow the methods described below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Methods to&nbsp;Export Mailbox for a Given Date Range &#8211; Exchange Server 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method 1: Use New-MailboxExportRequest Cmdlet in PowerShell&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Exchange Server 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019, you can use the <strong>New-MailboxExportRequest<\/strong> to export mailbox to PST. The command is used to export a complete mailbox or multiple mailboxes to PST in Exchange server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same command can be used to export mail items from a mailbox or multiple mailboxes for a certain date range by adding the <strong>\u2013ContentFilter <\/strong>switch in the cmdlet. The command is as follows,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New-MailboxExportRequest -ContentFilter {(Received -lt \u201902\/01\/2020\u2032) -and (Received -gt \u201912\/31\/2019\u2032)} -Mailbox \u201cJohn\u201d -Name John \u2013FilePath\\\\ExchServer\\Exports\\John.pst<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The above command exports \u2018Received\u2019 mail items (Inbox) from <strong>John\u2019s<\/strong> mailbox for a date range <strong>December 31, 2019 to February 01, 2020<\/strong>. The PST is saved at a network location folder \u2018<strong>Exports\u2019<\/strong> with file name <strong>John.pst.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can further create a .csv or .txt file and use a <strong>Foreach<\/strong> statement to export multiple mailboxes data for a certain date range in a single PST file. The steps are as follows,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Open Notepad and enter the user account names in the Notepad, like this<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"464\" height=\"276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarservertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarservertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-6.png 464w, https:\/\/www.stellarservertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-6-300x178.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Save the Notepad file as <strong>mailboxnames.txt <\/strong>file to C: drive volume.

All you have to do is replace \u2018<strong>Received\u2019<\/strong> text in the command with \u2018<strong>Sent\u2019 <\/strong>to export all mailbox messages sent between December 31, 2019 and February 01, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>New-MailboxExportRequest -ContentFilter {(Sent -lt \u201902\/01\/2020\u2032) -and (Sent -gt \u201912\/31\/2019\u2032)} -Mailbox \u201cJohn\u201d -FilePath\\\\ExchServer\\Exports\\John.pst<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Know If This Worked?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with this method is that you can\u2019t see any progress. You don\u2019t know if the command you ran executed successfully or not. Also, if all mailboxes export request was executed or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can check it manually by executing the following command,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>\nGet-MailboxExportRequestStatistics -Identity \"&lt;MailboxIdentity>\\&lt;MailboxExportRequestName>\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This command displays the status of your export and helps you know if the command worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Limitations of New-MailboxExportRequest Cmdlet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few limitations of this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It doesn\u2019t display any progress and there\u2019s no way to know the estimated time for export to complete.<\/li><li>It\u2019s a time taking process.<\/li><li>To execute this method, you must have technical knowledge and understanding of Exchange. If you lack the technical skills required to execute these commands or you don\u2019t understand what you are doing, do not follow this. Incorrect command or typo can lead to the export of inconsistent or unnecessary data and errors, leading to a waste of time and resources.<\/li><li>Requires access to Share\/network location and permissions to Export\/Import mailboxes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><em> <\/em>Method 2: Use an EDB to PST Converter Software (Automated Method)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have the necessary permissions to export mailbox, lack required technical skills, or simply want to avoid all the hassles, use an EDB to PST converter software such as Stellar Converter for EDB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The software provides you with the options to export mailbox sent or received during a particular date range with a few clicks. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarservertools.com\/exchange-edb-pst-converter.php\"><strong>Stellar Converter for EDB<\/strong><\/a> provides a \u2018<strong>Search Criteria<\/strong>\u2019 window that allows you (Exchange administrators) to search and export emails within the particular date range from single or multiple mailboxes to PST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using this software, you can export mailboxes from both hosted and offline EDB directly to a Live Exchange Server or Office 365 account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use Stellar Converter for EDB to export Exchange mailbox for a particular date range, download and install the software on your system.
