====== IMAP Sync Plugin ======

The IMAP Sync plugin has an extended set of tools we will be describing in detail below.

NOTE: This plugin is only available for the Professional and Enterprise editions of Feng Office. If you do not see any of the described options available in your account, please contact your Feng Office representative.

Besides the basic IMAP sync features, this plugin adds the following functionality:

  * New dimension - "Accounts and Folders": allows the synchronization, creation, edition, and deletion of IMAP folders in Feng Office
  * Updated archive function in email (can now view archived email directly from the toolbar)
  * Improved handling of account renaming

===== Adding an account =====

When adding a new e-mail account:

  * After choosing IMAP as the connection method, please click on Fetch IMAP Folders, and ensure all the folders you want to sync are selected.

After saving the changes, please take a look at your Accounts and Folders dimension. You should now see the newly added account with its folders:

===== Adding/Renaming/Deleting an IMAP folder in Feng Office =====

To add a new IMAP folder in Feng Office, please log in to the corresponding email account and click on New. You will see the following form for adding the new IMAP folder

The new folder will automatically be synced to your email server:

The above process will also be reflected the other way round, meaning that when you add a new folder in your email client, it will automatically be synced to your Feng Office account.

This two-way sync process is also reflected in:

  * Folders renaming
  * Folders deletion
  * Email classification (labeling) into the different folders (for more information on how to classify an email in Feng Office, please refer to [[classification|this article]].
