  For Exchange 2003 the only options are to backup the mailbox level or to use the ExMerge utility.

  Agree with Tim, however; 

  1. ExMerge only supports the ANSI PST Format which has a 2GB limit
     • ExMerge will not warn you if a PST goes over 2GB, it will just corrupt the PST and you won’t know it until you try to open it
     • ANSI PST's actually start to degrade at about 1.8GB so I would not go over that limit in order to ensure the data is recoverable
  2. Here is an article on how to script the creation of overflow PST's if you reach the 2GB limit http://theessentialexchange.com/blogs/michael/archive/2009/10/16/exporting-mailboxes-larger-than-2-gb-on-an-exchange-server.aspx
  3. Alternatively, you can look at 3^rd party tools like Lucid8's DigiScope that can do what you are looking for and much more http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp
