Horde is simply a frontend to a mail server. It's that mail server that
stores your emails, and to be able to read that emails from your phone or
another mail program, you should ask your mail administrator what are the
server names, protocols (IMAP or POP) username and password.

Again, that has to do with what your system's administrators have decided.
Horde is capable to set up a forward for a whole lot of different mail
server types and setups, but maybe in your case this has been disabled, or
simply doesn't work.
