How to Remove Messages With ExMerge
Microsoft's Exchange Server Mailbox Merge Wizard program, also known as ExMerge.exe, can remove messages from Exchange server mailboxes. ExMerge archives removed messages in personal storage table, or ".pst" files on your computer. You can remove the messages entirely by deleting the ".pst" files after extracting them from mailboxes on the Exchange server. You can use ExMerge.exe to remove virus-infected email messages from each user's mailbox on an Exchange server.
