Exmerge > Journaling mailbox > Can't import .pst

[boston33]

We are using a Mic. Win. 2003/Exch. 2003 Server.

We have 1 mailbox store. We just enabled journaling.

We need to import older mail, into the journal mailbox.

We used exmerge to export a .pst file. We open the outlook mail client for the journal mailbox. When we attempt to import the .pst into the journal mailbox, the email doesn't show. There are no errors.(Note: All of this work is with the same server and the same m.box store. We are not using a recovery server).

Can we get your advice on this problem? Thanks.

Why not just import it using exmerge?

We tried to import the .pst with exmerge first. After, we tried with the outlook mail client.

(We are trying to import a user's .pst named stevef.pst into the journal mailbox. It is on the same server with the same m.box store. We can export w/ exmerge, but the import doesn't work. We don't get any errors, but steve's mail doesn't show up in the journaling mailbox).

Thanks for your help.

A slow method might be to open up the .pst and then just move the emails from the one .pst to the mailbox..

Might be a workaround..
