Yes, there are two ways you can direct email from your other email accounts to your Unwired mailbox.
If your other email provider allows you to forward your email to another mailbox, such as this Unwired mailbox, you should follow their instructions. Alternatively, you can setup your Unwired mailbox to retrieve email automatically from other mailboxes. To do this, you must create a POP3 account for each external mailbox from which you are retrieving email. This can be done once you have logged into your Unwired mailbox.
Simply go to the 'Preferences' section on the top right-hand corner of the screen and choose the 'POP3 Accounts' link. You will then need to create a POP3 account for each external mailbox from which you are wishing to retrieve email. Create a POP Account by inserting a name to identify your external mailbox under the 'Account' field. You will then need to insert the exact mail server name, username and password as specified by your other mailbox provider.
If you wish for this email to be copied, rather than forwarded and deleted from your other mailbox, choose 'Yes' to 'leave messages on server'. You will need to choose the 'POP Mail' button (from the top menu) each time you wish to retrieve email from any POP3 mailboxes you have setup in this manner.
