Import Manager
Import Manager is an installable component of GFI OneConnect that the administrator can use to import mail messages from local information stores into the GFI OneConnect data center.
Messages imported into the data center using Import Manager are associated with the specified owner, are subject to retention policies and are searchable through the user's archive.
Import Manager supports the following information stores:
- PST files
- EML files
- Microsoft Exchange mailboxes
- Microsoft Office 365 mailboxes
Important notes before using Import Manager
- Ensure that the owner of the imported messages have at least one retention policy applied. Otherwise the message cannot be retained in the data center. For more information refer to Working with retention policies.
- It is advisable to gather PST and EML files together in a local directory to simplify the import process and improve performance.
- Emails inside a PST file are associated to the archive of the owner assigned during the import job, regardless of who the sender or recipients are. You need to run multiple import jobs to add the emails to other owners.
- Import Manager cannot process files that are locked. Ensure that Microsoft Outlook or other email clients are not using PST or EML files that are about to be imported.
