With Fetch Mail, you can retrieve mail from a remote mail server and have it forwarded to your Horde account.

Before you create Fetch Mail accounts , you may want to consider creating folders first to keep your inbox organized; this way, fetched emails will automatically be grouped and filed together for easy reference.

Create Folders (Optional)

To create a folder:

1. Login to Horde.
2. Click Mail in the left-side menu or from the menu at the top of the screen.
3. Click Folders in the menu at the top of the screen.
4. Select Create from the drop-down menu.
5. In the pop-up box, enter a name for the folder.
   • We suggest you make the folder name similar to the email address you plan to fetch. For example, if you are going to fetch email from example@exampledomain.com, you might name this folder "Example."
6. Click OK.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for each folder you would like to add.

Once you've created all the folders you wish to use, the next step is to set up Fetch Mail accounts.
