Retrieve mail from main account folder to sub account?

imprator · 19 Jan 2010, 09:23 PM

I would like to retrieve mail from a particular folder in my main account to my sub-account. However, when I enter the details in the sub-account retrieval page, with pop.runbox.com as the server name, it will not save the settings - and when I attempt to do so my entry in the "Server name" box is deleted.

I realise that I might be able to use the "Forward" or "Redirect" options from the main account. However, I want to leave the original message in the main account (I believe the Redirect option would delete this) and I want the message to arrive in the sub-account unaltered (I assume that the Forward option would add Fwd. to the message title, and alter the message body to show that it was a forwarded message).

Is there any way to achieve my objective?

Thanks.

Hi imprator,

Forwarding will do what you want and will not add Fwd: to your emails, or change the body of the message. Does that help?

That's great - just what I was looking for. I will give it a try.

Thanks for your help.
