You might think you can simply transfer the folder files via FTP. While in some instances this is possible, in most the file formatting prevents this method from being successful. Here is an approach that should work in most versions of Horde (webmail). Note that if your folders contain a large amount of email you will probably need to divide them into smaller folders.
Voila. That wasn't too hard was it? Next sign in to the Horde account in which you wish to import the mail folder you just saved.
Voila
Rinse and repeat for all your folders. For folders that are too large (your browser stalls or stops loading on export), you most likely have messages with attachments that are too large to handle. I recommend sorting the messages by size, downloading the attachments from the largest messages and forwarding them on with your preferred email client along with the message body. Then move (or delete) these messages from the folder you wish to export and try again. Eventually you will have gotten the folder down to a reasonable enough size and the export will succeed.

kind of the inverse horde/gmail issue
i have the reverse problem -- i want to add my horde account to my gmail settings so i can import my work emails into gmail. every time i try, gmail either says "timed out" or "dns failed" or does absolutely nothing -- reloads the settings page without adding my work account. does anyone have any ideas?
Superb!
Many thanks for this guide - was a God-send! Horde doesn't make it obvious you can import and export messages. All the best, James

Could you elaborate on your
Could you elaborate on your login problem? Ie. is the screen blank, is there an error message, etc.
Great!
Thanks so much... Horde is cooler than I realized. I just wished they made it more clear this great feature was available.
