🔥FEC can now bypass the 100,000 items per subfolder limitation imposed by Yahoo and AOL. After modern authentication support, this marks phase 2 of our Yahoo improvements.

🔥Introduced Acquisition Insights. At the conclusion of an acquisition, FEC will now interpret the key information in its logs and provide Insights to bring critical information to users' attention.

✔️It is now possible to perform reverse Differential Acquisitions. In other words, instead of providing exclusion lists, you can now provide inclusion lists. The acquisition would then be limited to the items on the inclusion lists.

✔️Acquisition statistics shown in the UI are now updated in real-time.

✔️Added in-place throttling mitigation to the snapshot phase of IMAP acquisitions to improve support for very large IMAP folders.

✔️Extended Inline Search to support searching by Item Class during Exchange (EWS) acquisitions. One can now filter the acquired items precisely by their Item Class. For example, itemclass:ipm.note*

✔️The number of items excluded by Inline Search is now shown in the UI during the acquisition.

✔️Improved support for Gmail labels with double quotes in Unified Query Builder.

✔️Extended the "Customizable Output PST Names" feature to include VHDX container naming.

✔️Clicking on the O365 hyperlink in Custom EWS acquisitions now automatically chooses the latest Exchange Server version.

✔️Improvements to PST output.

✔️Numerous other performance and user experience improvements.
