Bulk Importer

The Bulk Importer is our main import tool and is available on the Hub’s right-click menu for those who are Admins.


It can import using data it can find from:


  • Windows folders
  • Mail Manager .mmcollection files
  • Excitech Mail or Pentagon Mail Assistant group files
  • An XLSX spreadsheet
  • SharePoint sites

Importing confidential locations

The Bulk Importer provides the option to first create the locations without importing emails into them. So if you have confidential locations:


  1. When importing, use the Create Location option to create the location first without uploading the emails
  2. Secure the location so that it’s only accessible to the right staff (details in the section below)
  3. You can now import the emails knowing that they are invisible to others


Next Steps include: 


If your emails are in Public Folders

If your emails are in Outlook folders

If your emails are in Shared Folders

If you don’t have Mail Manager, Excitech Mail or Pentagon Mail Assistant any more

If your folders are deeply nested
