I have several Horde Webmail users on my domain.  I need to setup one of them to use POP3 in addition to the regular Horde webmail.

Is this possible, how?

Would you like the two (webmail and pop3) to be in sync with one another?  If so, you may wish to look into setting up an imap connection with your e-mail client.

What I'm looking at doing is setting it up so the user can check her email on a Blackberry.  From what I understand, the Blackberry works with POP3 email.

How would I go about setting up IMAP with this?

Thanks for your help!

You should be able to use your regular mail settings to setup IMAP access.  Your questions here inspired me to write up a little tutorial covering IMAP here:

Cool, thanks!   Looks like IMAP is a better POP3 ?

Question though, when I look at the account settings from the link in your procedure, it has this:

Email InstructionsYour new account offers POP3, IMAP and SMTP access.
POP3 Mail Host: mydomain.com
SMTP Mail Host: mydomain.com
Webmail Interface: http://mydomain/webmail



It doesn't specify the IMAP settings, are they the same as the POP3 settings?

Correct.  In the e-mail client you are using, you would just need to specify it was an IMAP connection/account.

Thanks a lot Mitch, I found a friend with a Blackberry Curve, configured my LunarPages email settings on it for IMAP, and can check my email just fine on it.

Ordering a Curve now, thanks.
