Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Development / July 2008Reading mail database (.edb) files
Hi, Is there anyway to read mail messages from edb files? My objective is to do exchange replica (CCR or LCR) and it will create a passive copy of exchange database. I want to import properties of mail message from this passive copy of database into my own storage location. The storage location can be either SQL Server or any 3rd party database. Thanks in Advance Hi, this is not possible due to the fact that the EDB file format is not public. however, the guys from Ontrack have a program called PowerControls which does just that - but it's for recovery purposes. That said, you should look at other mechanisms to access the store (like Exchange WebService or MAPI). Kind regards, Henning Krause > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Thanks in Advance Hi, Thanks for the reply. but how Ontrack powercontrols is reading mails from .edb file. Are they using RSG mechnisms. As you mentioned in the previous reply, other mechanisms like WebDav,MAPI requires mounted database. Can I connect or open a un-mounted database and access mail items.

I guess they have reverse-engineered the database format. And yes, all other methods require a mounted store - there is no official way to do this offline.
