# Mail ingestion methods

There are two different options for ingesting mail for Google Workspace Accounts, the Import and INSERT method.&#x20;

Import is the default method. This method imports mail with standard scanning and delivery functionality.&#x20;

The INSERT method is an alternative method that bypasses scanning for older messages, and can increase transfer speeds. When enabled, you can choose to use INSERT for messages sent a minimum of 15 days earlier, and up to 120 days as the maximum start point.

### Enabling the INSERT method for a project

To enable the INSERT method, execute the following steps:

* Login to Movebot and choose or create a project with **Google Workspace Gmail** as the destination.
* Go to the **Content Options** tab, and under **Google Workspace Mail Options** check the option for *Use INSERT method for old emails.* The default setting is for emails older than 30 days but this can be adjusted from 15 days up to 120 days.&#x20;
