Huh.
That surprises me. If you compact the PST does it drop down to ~200M? Regards, Michael B.

That's ~200M, where the cmdlet gives me 1600M? Thanks! jlc From: Michael B.

Casale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 12:02 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Export-Mailbox and Dumpster Reading technet, I see: "If you export data to a .pst file by using the PSTFolderPath parameter, the Export-Mailbox cmdlet does not export messages from the dumpster." So piping a Get-Mailbox with some filtering into this: Export-Mailbox -PSTFolderPath:"D:\Path" -MaxThreads:1 -Confirm:$false should give the same size file that a manual export of all folders from OL to a pst does? But the cmdlet gives me 1.6 gig where OL gives me 200 meg for one box? How can I replicate the same behavior and not export anything else other than the current mailbox contents?
