The index export tool is used to create an index that can be imported by a new Mail Manager user, to considerably shortening the initial time taken to index their locations.
Note: The import process will only occur if there is no Index folder in the user's local profile.
How to export locations from an existing index:
| 1. | Identify a user that has a suitable index for exporting locations | 
| 2. | On the user's machine run the MailManager.IndexExporter.exe that can be found in the Mail Manager installation folder e.g.  C:\Program Files\Mail Manager\x64 or %localappdata%\Mail Manager\Program Files\x64 The following window will appear: ![]()  | 
| 3. | Select the required locations to export | 
| 4. | Browse to the folder where the exported index will be saved (only local and network folders are supported) | 
| 5. | From the ribbon select Export | 
How to configure the importing of an exported index:
| 1. | Using Notepad, open the file called: AdminEmailFiling.cfg found in the Shared Configuration Folder | 
| 2. | Add the following text to a new line: #IndexImportLocation=  | 
| 3. | Append the exported folder path e.g. IndexImportLocation=\\server01\Mail Manager\Mail Manager Config  | 
| 4. | Save and exit the file | 
| 5. | Open the Admin Preferences window and review the refresh and lock settings in all sections. | 
| 6. | Select OK | 
Note:
Only after the import has completed will the search window show any results.
