I have a user who previously was on POP and had a lot of old e-mails. Recently, she was changed over to IMAP, given a new account and e-mail address (was abc@xyz.com; now is abcde@xyz.com), and then got malware on her computer (that is where I was brought it). I backed up her files and settings with USMT, and then blew away her profile. I set her up with a new profile and copied her documents back. I thought all of her e-mails were sync'd with IMAP (because I didn't know she was on POP previously), but she said e-mails were missing. I went and extracted the PST file out of the USMT archive (.mig file). Now I am trying to open the PST with all of her old e-mails.
When I opened the PST in Outlook, it immediately came up and said, "SYNCHRONIZING" and was synchronizing a whole lot of stuff. Then I started getting messages from the IMAP server saying "e-mail too large. Please limit to 20MB." I don't know if it's talking about an individual e-mail that has a big attachment, or the entire mailbox.
What I would like to do is give the user access to her old e-mails without synchronizing those with the IMAP server. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks.
