Clone to Local Mailbox

Cloning copies the messages from a remote mail account you have configured into your local MailSite mailbox, so you can read and search them with Yioop's own mail interface. A clone runs in the background as a media job; you can leave the page while it works and check back later. Progress (current folder, imported, skipped, failed) is shown on the mail page while a clone is active.

Mode

• Add to local mail — copies messages into your local mailbox, leaving anything already there in place. Messages that have already been copied are detected by their Message-ID and skipped, so re-running this mode does not create duplicates.

• Wipe, then clone — empties your local mailbox first and then copies everything fresh from the remote account. Use this when you want the local copy to exactly mirror the remote account.

• Dry run — reports what would be copied without writing any messages. Useful for previewing the size of a clone before committing to it.

Max Most Recent Each Folder

This sets how many of the most recent messages are copied from each folder:

• ALL — copy every message in each folder (no limit).
• 1000 , 5000 , 10000 , 50000 — copy only the newest messages in each folder, up to the chosen number. Older messages beyond that number are left on the remote account and not copied.

The limit applies in every mode and always keeps the most recent messages (those with the highest IMAP UIDs), never the oldest. It is an upper bound: if a folder's message numbering has gaps from past deletions, slightly fewer than the chosen number may be copied, but they are always the newest.
