Select Credential: Choose the Mimecast Client ID and Secret from the dropdown.
For support setting up credentials use our guide on managing credentials.
Select the Domains tab.
Domains
Included Domains: Choose to crawl specific domains only. Enter the domain names you want to crawl using Regular Expression.
If blank, all domains will be crawled.
Include local domains: If checked, local domains will also be processed.

Messages
Start Date: Select the earliest date messages should be retrieved from when crawling a mailbox for the first time.
This also applies if Ignore Delta Tokens is checked.
End Date: Select the date of the latest message to retrieve.
Leave this empty for ongoing delta crawls.
Ignore delta tokens: Check this to ignore delta tokens and re-crawl all messages.
Use this to find missing messages, if the Start Date is changed, or to process deleted messages.
This is slower than a standard delta crawl.

If blank, all messages will be processed.
Blank Subject Default: Enter a default subject for any messages processed without one.
Attachments

Parallel Folder Query: Enter the maximum number of Elastic queries that can be processed at once.
This may impact Elastic performance.

Performance
Results Page Size: Enter the maximum number of results retrieved in a single request.
Retry After Multiplier: Enter a multiplier to pause processing after receiving a 'retry after' message. The multiplier will be multiplied by the 'retry after' value.
Retry after values are typically between 1 and 3. A multiplier of 1000 will convert the value to that number of seconds.
Delta Token Offset (Minutes): Enter the number of minutes to overlap that is applied to a saved delta token.
This allows time zones to be accounted for.
Negative values are subtracted.
Authentication Token Offset (Seconds): Enter an offset in seconds that is applied to the authentication token expiry.
Negative values are subtracted.
