IMAP journaling allows the Archiver to poll and archive emails with the IMAP/POP3 protocols by specifying an existing mailbox configured exclusively for journaling mailbox. The polling interval is 10 minutes.
The journaling mailbox can be polled in two different ways:
- IMAP: all the emails from the selected folders of the mailbox are imported
- POP3: all the emails of the mailbox are imported
When configuring an IMAP/POP3 journaling, you have to provide this information:
- connections: define the protocol used for polling the emails (IMAP or POP3)
- active: define whether the polling activity should be active
- hostname: the hostname of the journaling mailbox
- port: the port to use to connect to the mail server
- username and password: the credential for the journaling mailbox
- encryption protocol: the encryption protocol used for the communication with the mailbox (SSL, STARTTLS or PLAIN)
- validate certificates: whether to enable certificate validation
The type configuration can be:
- forwarding: the email is forwarded to the journaling mailbox without an additional envelope
- journaling: the journaling email is encapsulated in a message envelope using RFC2822 protocol
The option Delete mails after indexing should be enabled if you want the emails to be removed from the journaling mailbox once they have been imported on the Archiver. Please note that if this option is disabled and no-one deletes the journaling emails from the journaling mailbox, the emails could be imported (and duplicated) multiple times.
