 Modified on: February 11, 2021 |    16428 views

Stellar Repair for Exchange software provides an option to perform search operations that helps find particular mailboxes or emails and save them in PST, MSG, EML, HTML, RTF, or PDF format.

The software provides two ways to search and save recover mails. You can use the ‘Find Message’ or ‘Search’ option to find and save the mail items. It also has an option that allows you to search mailbox items based on specified criteria, such as Any Criteria or Exact Match. 

Further, you can refine the search results based on various fields, such as To, From, Cc, Subject, Body, Attachment Name, Importance, and Item Type fields. This allows you to quickly recover specific mailboxes and items in desired format.

The steps to search and save mails after recovery are as follows:

  • Open Stellar Repair for Exchange and then ‘Browse’ or use ‘Find’ option to select the EDB file that contains the required emails or mailboxes. The “Find” button helps you locate the EDB file from the drive, folder, or subfolder.
