##### security concerns ## Setup
The [german wikipedia tells that there are some security concern with fetchmail](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetchmail). If in the future a customer needs to functions of fetchmail, it could be better to write a docker container for [getmail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getmail) instead because it should be more secure.
##### workaround ### Fetchmail Issues
If you need to receive emails from another account this should help:
- Redirect to your new email account Fetchmail might not work properly with large amounts of data. For more information, refer to this [issue](https://github.com/Mailu/Mailu/issues/1719).

#### Fetchmail Workaround
If you need to receive emails from another account, follow these steps:
1. Redirect your emails to your new email account.
2. Export all data from your original account.
