Is there a way to copy mailboxes from one Exchange 5.5 server in one site to another Exchange 5.5 server in another site? I need to copy the mailboxes and not 'move' them. Please advise.

Easiest way is to create a PST file (Outlook client assumed) and copy everything to it. Then at the remote site (or VPNed into the remote server), copy the pst file and Link it to Outlook, copy everything back from the Personal Folder and up to that server.

I do not know of any direct way to copy mailboxes from one server to another.

Use exmerge. It is on the 5.5 CD and on the net. It will copy your mailboxes to a .pst and then you can import them to the new server. When usong exmerge it does not harm the original files and they are still there for use. I use this technique to keep a Disastor recovery server updated weekly.
