Possibilities might be arise where you might be need to export or import individuals mailboxes from Exchange Server 2007 to offline files. To accomplish this task you must be fulfill few per-requirements that must be met before you export/import to PST file:
The most basic commandlet line is as follows:
Export-Mailbox –Identity <mailboxUser> -PSTFolderPath <pathToSavePST>
Note: PSTFolderPath must be pointing either to a folder or to a .pst file. If you targeted to the folder than mailbox alias name will be used as the target, also, if the .pst file already exists then the content of the mailbox will be merged into it.
Example:
After the cmdlet task finishes, you will have the .pst ready in the specified location:
Exporting Multiple Mailboxes to PST Files
To execute the process of bulk mailboxes conversion task you just to add a pipe in the identities of the mailboxes. Note that when you execute the bulk exporting task then one .pst file will be created for each mailbox.
The most basic commandlet line is as follows:
Get-Mailbox -Database 'MDB' | Export-Mailbox -PSTFolderPath D:\PSTs
Importing Single Mailbox from PST File
The task of importing the .pst file content is quite similar with the above exporting task:
Import-Mailbox -Identity <mailboxUser> -PSTFolderPath <PSTFileLocation>
Again, PSTFolderPath must be the full path to the targeted directory where the .pst file lives or the .pst file stores. In case if you point to the a directory then the cmdlet will try to match the mailbox alias with the name of an existing .pst file in the specified folder and import all data into that mailbox.
Example:
Importing Bulk Mailboxes from PST File
As the above export situation whenever the bulk importing task to be perform, the PSTFolderPath must be point to a folder from where the task logic will try to match mailboxes alias name with the .pst file name under that location, if there any difference found between the particular mailbox name and pst file name then that mailbox will be skipped.
Example:
Get-Mailbox -Database 'MDB' | Import-Mailbox -PSTFolderPath D:\PSTs
Export/Import Data into PST after Filtering

Export-Mailbox –Identity <mailboxUser> -PSTFolderPath <pathToSavePST> -StartDate 1/1/06 -EndDate 12/1/06 -SubjectKeywords:'review' -ContentKeywords:'project','alpha'
And. Similarly in Import
Import-Mailbox -Identity <mailboxUser> -PSTFolderPath <PSTFileLocation> -StartDate 1/1/06 -EndDate 12/1/06 -SubjectKeywords:'review' -ContentKeywords:'project','alpha'
