  2. In the form that opens click Import.

     

  3. In the Mailbox import form that opens, fill in the fields:
    • Owner – the owner of the mail domain in which the mailbox was created;
    • Source – select the type of import, the necessary fields are changed depending on the choice. You can select:
      • IMAP (One mailbox) – when choosing, you need to fill in the fields:
        • Mail server address – the address of the mail server to connect via the IMAP protocol;
        • Email – mailbox address;
        • Password – mailbox password;

           

      • CSV-file (Multiple mailboxes) – When selecting, you must fill in the fields:
        • Mail server address – the address of the mail server to connect via the IMAP protocol;
        • CSV file – Upload a .csv file containing a list of mailboxes to be imported into the Panel in the following format: mail_address:password. For example,
          email1@domain.com,password1
          email2@domain.com,password2
        • Ignore existing boxes – skip the import of mailboxes that already exist in the panel. If the checkbox is not checked, the contents of the mailboxes will be deleted and the password will be changed before importing;
        • Parallel import – select this option to import multiple mailboxes at the same time.

         

      • Yandex 360 for business – When selecting this item, you must fill in the field:
        • Owner – the owner of the mail domain in which the mailbox was created;
        • Source – Yandex 360 for business;
        • Token – To import from Yandex 360 for business you need to generate an access token and add it to this field (see Yandex documentation);
        • Get a token – click to receive a token through the automatic service in the panel. After clicking, log in to the Yandex form that opens; the generated token will be automatically substituted in the Token field;
        • Organization – select the organization which mail you want to import;
        • Domains – select domains;
        • Mailboxes – select mailboxes.
        • Import mailbox content – to import the contents of mailboxes, in the Yandex Mail settings for all mailboxes, enable IMAP access using the portal password. During import, the password from Yandex will be replaced with a new one that matches the password of the mailbox in the panel. If you know the mailbox passwords and don't want them to be changed, use import from a CSV file. If the checkbox is not selected, empty mailboxes and domains will be created in the panel;
        • Ignore existing boxes – skip the import of mailboxes that already exist in the panel. If the checkbox is not checked, the contents of the mailboxes will be deleted and the password will be changed before importing.
        • Parallel import – parallel email import functionality; 

          • When importing a single mailbox, or when using imports without parallel processing, the data is placed in the first queue;
          • Import queues are shared by all control panel users;
          • When multiple users are importing at the same time, import processes are added to the first queue, or to the most free queue in the case of regular and parallel imports, respectively;
          • 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.

         

  4. When you have completed all the fields, click Import.

The system adds the corresponding entries to the Mail form and migrates in the background. After the migration is complete, the table in the row of the imported mailbox will display the Import completed successfully and a notification about the successful completion of the import.
