  • As before it's possible to set the schedule period to daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly. For weekly archiving you can set the day of the week. For monthly archiving you can set the day of the month.
  • The options "quit when finished", "start missed" and the email notification are available as before. Don't forget to add one or more plans to the schedule.
  • If the schedule in the schedule list shows a green checkmark then the schedule has at least one active plan. If you see a block icon then you need to add a plan. The schedule will only run if it has a plan.
  • Changes for IMAP Accounts:
  • In version 6.3 I tried to improve the creation of IMAP accounts. You entered an email address and a password and Mail Archiver tried to figure out the IMAP server. I really didn't like the design because Mail Archiver had to guess the type of IMAP account you wanted (Gmail, iCloud etc.). This also led to some fun with the interface.
  • Therefore, I changed the interface back. You now have to select the type of the IMAP account and THEN you can enter email address and password or only the email address if necessary.
