##### security concerns
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.
## Setup
##### workaround
If you need to receive emails from another account this should help:
### Fetchmail Issues
- Redirect to your new email account
- Export all data from your original account
- Import all data from your original account to your new 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).

#### Deactivating Fetchmail
Before uninstalling Fetchmail, ensure to remove all fetched accounts from the administration panel.
#### Fetchmail Security Concerns
There are known security concerns with Fetchmail as stated in the [German Wikipedia](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetchmail). If you require Fetchmail functions in the future, consider creating a Docker container for [Getmail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getmail) as it is considered more secure.
#### Fetchmail Workaround
