			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I&#8217;m moving some exchange mailboxes from one server to another for a customer.  Thankfully, the ExMerge tool that you use to dump each mailbox to a .pst file for easy transport to the new server is threaded, so multiple mailboxes get dumped at once: </p>

<p>It&#8217;s really too bad that pre-assigns the mailboxes to each thread:</p>

<p>&#8230; you&#8217;re sure using a lot of them! </p>
<p>(and no, the &#8220;Download only when my Internet Connection is idle&#8221; option doesn&#8217;t help)</p>
