You can only import messages from an email account configured with the IMAP protocol.

- Complete the procedure by clicking on the Import button.
| Folders | Description |

| Received | The contents of the folder are stored in Received Messages. |
| Sent | The contents of the folder are stored in Sent Messages. |
| Ignore | The contents of the folder are not archived. |
The import procedure can be performed only once and can take a few hours to complete.
At the end of the procedure, a confirmation email will be sent to notify that the procedure is completed. You can follow the import status in the details section of your mailbox.
Once the import is completed and all messages are successfully stored into the archive, you can delete messages from your email account to free up space, if needed.
