Parallel import – parallel email import functionality;

- The maximum number of queues is controlled by the ParallelEmailImportCount parameter in the configuration file. By default it is set to 2. There is no limit to the maximum number, but import errors may occur on the source mail server if the number of concurrent requests is large.
