[horde] How to cron the fetch mail function in imp ?

[Christian Leicht]

Thanks Luis,

but then its not possible that a User!!! in his Horde Account do this. He has no Shell Account and do not know what a shell account is ;-)

I think it is possible to do this in Horde direct, and setup a global cron for horde to receive all pop accounts if there is one setup in horde.
