Mail Collector: Importing emails from another email account

If you would like to use GMX as your main email account, the Mail Collector can help you import emails from other accounts, including third-party accounts, into your GMX inbox.

The Mail Collector automatically imports emails from your other email accounts into your GMX account. You can save these imported emails your inbox or in a separate folder.

How does the Mail Collector work?

Your emails are retrieved via IMAP. You can choose which emails will be collected:

only incoming emails that arrive after you set up Mail Collector
only emails that are already stored in the inbox of your other email account
both incoming and stored emails

The Mail Collector will only fetch copies of the emails from your other email account. The original emails will remain in the external inbox. Whenever possible, your emails will be SSL encrypted.
