To transfer emails from Horde to Gmail, you can follow either a manual method using Gmail's settings or utilize specialized software for a more direct migration. Here’s a detailed guide on both approaches:
Manual Method Using Gmail
- Start by signing into your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select Settings.
- Navigate to the Accounts and Import tab.
- Click on Add a mail account.
- Input your Horde webmail email address and click Next.
- Choose the option to Import emails from any other account (POP3) and click Next.
- Enter your Horde email username and password.
- Set the POP Server to the appropriate server settings for Horde.
- Use port number 110.
- Click on Add Account to start importing your emails. This method typically imports only the inbox emails and may not allow selective transfers.
Using Software for Direct Migration
