# Creating Imports

The new Admin UI provides a streamlined and flexible way to import emails from various sources. This guide walks you through the 'Create Import' process, highlighting the different settings available based on the selected protocol.

### Protocol-Specific Connection Details

The 'Connection Details' section will dynamically change based on the selected protocol. Below are the specific fields required for each protocol.

| Protocol | Credentials Type Options             | Required Fields                                                                 |
| -------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| EWS      | Credentials / OAuth                  | Server Address, Authentication Type, Username/Password or OAuth Details         |
| IMAP     | Credentials / Google Service Account | Server Address, Port, Authentication Type, Username/Password or Service Account |
| MS Graph | OAuth (Only if Azure is configured)  | Server Address, OAuth authentication setup                                      |
| POP3     | Credentials                          | Server Address, Port, Authentication Type, Username/Password                    |

### Authentication Methods

Depending on the selected protocol, different authentication methods may be required:

· Credentials Authentication - Requires username and password.\
· OAuth Authentication - Requires authorization through Microsoft or Google OAuth.\
· Google Service Account - Uses a service account with a JSON key to authenticate.

### Additional Settings

Some imports may require additional settings, such as:

· Download MIME Chunk - Enabling this will allow downloading of MIME messages in chunks.\
· Archive Folders - Select this if you want to include archived folders.\
· Ignore Non-Email Items - This will exclude non-email content from the import.

### Importing Users

In the bottom section of the 'Create Import' screen, you will find options to add or browse users. Users can be added manually or imported in bulk.

### Confirming and Starting the Import

Once all required fields are completed, confirm the mailbox reader permission and start the import process.
