The plug-in will only synchonize new emails and when an existing customer updates their opt-in preferences. Your original (past) online store emails must be imported into your MailChimp list unless they have already been imported previously. To export your current opt-in emails from your online store, login to /estore_admin/, click on the 'Reports' tab and then click on 'Export All Customer Emails (CSV)'. The exported CSV file can be easily imported into your MailChimp list from inside your MailChimp Accout Manager (list import functon).
