While the default options are recommended for the majority of organisations the CloudM Migrate gives users the ability to customise their migration experience. The following are some of the advanced options available to customers migrating from MBOX and EML Archives.
Mail Archive Options
-
Archive Label Method – specify how labels or folders will be used when migrating archives:
- Specified Label – use the label or folder specified by the setting below
- Email Labels – when migrating from mbox files exported by Gmail (Google Takeaway) then use the headers in the emails to determine the destination label/folder.
- Filename – use the filename of the file being migrated as the label or folder name
- Filename and Label – use the filename of the file and the specified label/folder
- Folder Name – use the name of the folder containing the message being migrated as the label or folder name

- mboxrd – one of the most common mbox formats, used by Google Takeout, Google Vault and others
- mboxo – an older variant used by postfix and others
- mboxcl – a Unix format
- mboxcl2 – another Unix format
- EML Files – EML files (RFC822 messages as text) in a folder
