What Is Stellar Converter For EDB?
Stellar Converter for EDB is a Windows-based mailbox conversion software that helps IT administrators access email stored in offline Exchange databases and supported hosted Exchange environments. It provides an alternative to the native Exchange mailbox export process for retrieving legacy data or preparing a transfer.
Stellar Converter for EDB is a Windows-based mailbox conversion software that helps IT administrators access email stored in offline Exchange databases and supported hosted Exchange environments. It provides an alternative to the native Exchange mailbox export process, particularly when that process fails because of low disk space, disconnected mailboxes, or incorrect permissions.
The software can also open offline EDB files without running Exchange Server or Active Directory. Administrators can export primary mailboxes, archive mailboxes, and public folders to PST, live Exchange Server, or Microsoft 365.
What Is Stellar Converter for EDB Best For?
Stellar Converter for EDB software stands out for priority-based mailbox conversion, which lets Exchange administrators process business-critical mailboxes first. Administrators can set or change mailbox priorities and manage the processing queue. The software also supports converting up to eight mailboxes simultaneously, subject to system requirements.
This is useful for large export projects where some users’ mailbox data is needed sooner than others. Priority settings determine which mailboxes are processed first, though conversion time still depends on database size, system resources, and the destination environment.
How Much Does Stellar Converter for EDB Cost?
Stellar Converter for EDB pricing starts at $399/year for its Corporate plan. This edition is suitable for organizations with smaller conversion requirements and covers up to 50 mailboxes for conversion, archive mailbox export to PST, contacts export to CSV, and more. The vendor offers two more editions to support larger conversion projects:
- Technician: $599/year for up to 500 mailboxes
- Toolkit: $999/year for unlimited mailbox conversion and additional Exchange utilities
A free trial is available for scanning and previewing mailbox data. Exporting or saving converted data requires a paid license.
Beyond the software license, organizations may incur the following estimated project costs, depending on their environment and project scope:
- IT Staff Time: $200–$800/project
- Infrastructure: $50–$300/ project
- Mailbox Transfer Planning: $100–$400/project
- Post-conversion Data Validation: $100–$500/project
Disclaimer: The pricing is subject to change.

Stellar Converter for EDB Use Cases
Our analysis of documented Stellar Converter for EDB features and user feedback highlights several situations in which the software is a suitable option:
1. IT Teams Extracting Individual Mailboxes From Retained EDB Files
A request for one former employee’s email may not justify restoring an entire Exchange environment. Stellar Converter for EDB lets administrators select a mailbox from an offline database and export it to PST for access in Outlook. Reviewers report extracting individual user mailboxes from EDB files and moving them into Outlook.
2. Exchange Administrators Handling Failed PowerShell Exports
An Exchange administrator may still need mailbox data after a PowerShell export fails. The software reads mailbox content directly from the EDB file, including databases from Exchange Server Subscription Edition back to version 5.5. Administrators can use this alternative to obtain the required data without rerunning the failed New-MailboxExportRequest process.
3. Migration Teams Preserving Shared Public Folder Content
Migration teams can use the software to transfer shared departmental correspondence stored in public folders. Since New-MailboxExportRequest does not export public folders to PST, it provides another route for extracting this content from offline EDB files. Administrators can save it to PST or export it to supported Exchange Server or Microsoft 365 destinations.
4. Administrators Locating Specific Messages In Historical Mailboxes
When a request concerns older correspondence from a particular sender or period, administrators may only need a few messages from a retained EDB file. Stellar Converter for EDB lets them preview mailbox content, search for matching messages, and export selected items. Users find the preview and searches by sender, recipient, and date range useful for locating specific correspondence.
5. IT Teams Exporting Multiple Mailboxes To PST
IT teams preparing PST archives for several email accounts can select multiple mailboxes from an EDB file and export them in one operation instead of converting each account separately. Up to eight mailboxes process in parallel, and the total number of mailboxes a license can convert depends on the edition.
Is Stellar Converter for EDB Right For You?
Stellar Converter for EDB may suit Exchange administrators and IT teams that need mailbox data from servers that are offline or no longer running. It places no size limit on the source EDB file, and editions range from a 50-mailbox cap to unlimited conversion, so the license can match the project’s scale.
Stellar holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications for its quality and information security management systems. These are company-level credentials, rather than certifications for the converter itself.
Exchange Server 2016 and 2019 reached end of support on October 14, 2025. Stellar supports databases from both versions and exports to Microsoft 365 or supported live Exchange environments, so administrators can extract mailbox content as part of that transition.
Before choosing an edition, weigh how many mailboxes the project covers, the source database’s size and condition, the output format you need, whether the destination is compatible, and the system resources available. The answers show whether the software fits your project.

Stellar Converter for EDB Features
Offline Large EDB To PST Conversion
The software extracts mailbox content from large offline EDB files and saves it as Outlook PST files, preserving the original mailbox structure. When the converted output exceeds 45 GB, it can automatically split the data into smaller PST files. Saving to PST requires Microsoft Office to be installed on the same computer.
Mailbox Conversion
Before export, the software shows a preview of Exchange mailboxes and their contents. Administrators can select individual items, complete mailboxes, or several mailboxes and save the chosen content in supported formats. IT staff control the export’s scope, so they can retrieve requested records without saving unrelated mailbox data. The free trial includes the preview but does not save converted data.
Parallel Mailbox Processing
Administrators can process and save up to eight offline mailboxes at the same time. They can remove mailboxes from the processing queue and resume saving them later, adjusting the queue as priorities change. How many conversions run smoothly at once depends on system resources, and the software needs at least 8 GB of RAM.
EDB Export To Live Exchange
This feature exports multiple mailboxes from an offline EDB file directly to a live Exchange Server. It automatically matches source mailboxes with existing destination mailboxes, so administrators do not have to map each account manually. Incremental migration transfers remaining items during later exports that limit duplicate transfers when administrators repeat the process.
Offline EDB Export To Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 export works directly from offline EDB mailboxes, without saving them as PST files first. The software supports automatic registration using Azure credentials or manual registration with an application created in Microsoft Entra ID. Administrators can check mailbox matches and adjust them manually before export. Exporting directly removes the separate PST import step, but destination access and permissions must be configured first.
