Import/Migrate Emails

Our first revision of the Import / Migrate emails system uses imapsync to import emails from a remote mail server. After initially entering your details of the remote server, our system then scans that mail server for the folders, message counts, and sizes. This information is then displayed allowing the user to select which folders to import. On the same screen, it then asks for the current password of the email account to start the import (we plan to remove this part as it's the receiving server - this is mail server specific).

Upon clicking the button Start Import, the next screen with show a progress bar and total message counts to import. All of this happens in the background.

Once completed, the Past Migrations log is displayed allowing the user to re-synchronize the emails. The passwords are saved and encrypted, but only stored for 48 hours.
