You will be able to use the Batch Importer feature to import content from existing user mailboxes. If you are also using a Personal Archive Mailbox(es), you need to export that archive mailbox to a PST using Exchange Management Shell. You can then import the PST via the Mail Archiver Batch Importer. 

To export the archive mailbox

Use the following PowerShell command:

New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox ##mailboxname## -IsArchive -FilePath ##UNC address to pst file##

An example of this would be: 

New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox jjohnson -FilePath “d:\archives\jjonhson\archive2010.pst” –IsArchive


For more information on the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607299(v=exchg.141).aspx

To set the script to export to PST for each mailbox, you can use:

foreaforeach ($i in (Get-Mailbox)){ New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $i -FilePath "\\server\mailboxexports\$($i.Alias).pst" -IsArchive}

You will then need to obtain scanpst.exe from a machine with Microsoft Office installed (drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12) and run scanpst.exe against the PST files you have created.

Then, use the following option in the Batch Importer to import the PST file:
