FAQ
Is there a limit when importing .pst files?
- You can upload up to 20 files at the same time.
- If you need to import more files, split the work into batches.
- After each batch, check the sync result before continuing.
Why can’t I complete the import after selecting a PST file?
- Make sure the selected file is a real .pst file rather than another mail or compressed file.
- Close any other mail program that may still be using the PST file.
- Return to the Data Sync page and try the import again.
What should I check after the import is finished?
- Open the target mailbox address or cloud destination and spot-check whether imported mail is visible.
- Review whether the mail content looks complete, especially the subject, body, and time information.
- If you imported many files, verify them batch by batch so it is easier to identify any problem file.
