Hi Tony.

A microsoft server folder is meant to be exported to a computer with Microsoft Exchange installed. That is useful only if the The Outlook Address Book and folders are kept in an Exchange Server mailbox on original computer.

Export as PST and choose the include subfolder option even if you export to Microsoft Exchange.If the Outlook profile on the new computer has a Microsoft Exchange Server and you want to keep all of your data on the just copy the folders from the new .pst file to a location under Mailbox - Your Name in computer with MS Exchange server.

Simply choose export folder to a pst. Ensure that you have ticked that box that say include subfolders, or subfolders won't be copied.

Here the step by step:

    Hello Ginko,
    Those instructions i read a thousand times and they are to :
    Export all folders and data to a new .pst file

    My question was :
    i want ot keep all the folders hierarchy and attachments, as is, but out of outlook
    (not a .PST file)

    In fact i want to save all my multiple outlook file cabinets on regular folders on our network or even on my personal C: drive with all the same folders hierarchy, content (PDF, XLS, DOC,etc.), emails and their attachments.
    This way, someone else will be able to have access to all this without even having microsoft outlook installed.
    Thanks again Ginko ! hope this explains a bit more what i want to do.

Outlook express file recovery tool

Have a look at this follow the instructions it should make it all better.

MailNavigator can cope with the task of restoring out-of-order dbx files when Outlook Express itself cannot read them and when a range of other programs are not capable of restoring the information contained in these files. These situations can happen because of viruses, computer breakdown, power interruptions and many other reasons, leading to errors in the file system.
If your computer crashed, first of all you should make sure you have backup copies of your dbx files as well as of all other important data. It's good if you make backup copies of your data on a regular basis. But, unfortunately, in our experience situations are often encountered where there is already nothing to restore.
The process of data recovery from dbx files includes two stages:

oeboxes1.gifoeboxes2.gif
If your Outlook Express program is properly installed and tuned, MailNavigator will automatically find the dbx files from the information in the systems register. In this case you can load the dbx files from the Information Retrieval page by double clicking on each of them. Or search for messages in these files using the search system.
If MailNavigator cannot automatically determine the location of the dbx files (for example if these files are on a CD), first you have to find them using search tools, and then load them into MailNavigator using the menu command:
File | Load External Mailbox...
eudora1.gif Once you've read the messages, select the ones that should be exported back into Outlook Express. You can use various filters to select the messages. If you want to export all the messages browsable in the Navigator at once, use the menu command:

Message | Select All
Having selected the messages, export them using the menu command:

Message | Save as...
eudora2.gif In the opened dialogue box, indicate the file and export path, and choose the file type: Eudora mailbox.
When the command is executed, there will be files in the export directory with extensions .toc and .mbx, and also a file descmap.pce. If there are attached files in the exported messages they will be saved in the subdirectory Attach.


Once the mailbox in Eudora format is created, open the program Outlook Express and use the menu command:
File | Import | Messages...
oeimp1.gif
In the opened dialogue box, as the program from which the message is imported, select: Eudora Pro or Light:
oeimp2.gif
In the next dialogue box indicate the directory in which you put the messages from MailNavigator at the export stage:
oeimp3.gif
Further, if Outlook Express finds mailboxes in this directory, it will suggest you select one of them for import:
oeimp4.gif
All that remains to do is to press the Finish button, and a folder containing the imported messages is created in Outlook Express. hope this helps
