Please follow the steps mentioned at http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/it/howto/email/exp.html#top to export Outlook emails into PST.

Alternatively, Lepide exchange recovery manager can also perform this task.

Hi Ary,

Use below command to export the mailbox data in to a PST file

New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox AylaKol -FilePath "\\SERVER01\PSTFileShare\Ayla_Recovered.pst"

You will have to create a shared path in order to export the data

Please note that this is performed on the server side, and the user performing the export must be a member of a role group which has the Mailbox Import Export role added.

Dears ,

Thanks for your reply , I need to run the export script on the computers that are running outlook 2016 not on the server , So I wonder if there is a PowerShell cmdlet to export the email as pst files on the client computer that is running outlook 2016 .

Thanks

There are only two ways to export/import PST file to a mailbox

1. Via Outlook wizard 

2. Via the command that i gave. The pst file is fetched from the mailbox from the server 

Hence powershell is a feature that can be utilised to fetch the data from the server not from Outlook 

Outlook is a rich client application but does not provide an inbuild powershell help

Hope this answers your query
