A catch-all account is a account where email to multiple recipients is delivered.
Usually all the recipients are of the same domain, e.g the account will contain email to a@example.com ,b@example.com and c@example.com.
If you wish to download all these email and forward them on to your server, use a catch-all account.
Catch all accounts preserve the original recipients, so email to a@example.com will be forwarded to a@example.com on your email server.
See the 'Reroute email to' setting for information on rerouting catch-all email to other domains.

Domains to catch
The domains associated with this account.
This is used to catch all email that have recipients matching these domains. If example.com is specified (or *@example.com or @example.com)
then any email with recipients at that domain will be forwarded to that recipient on your email server. So an email with recipients a@example.com and b@somewhereelse.com
will be sent to your email server for delivery to a@example.com.
You can specify multiple domains to catch e.g abc.com, abc.co.uk. Email to any of the domains will be retrieved and delivered. It will be readdressed according to your Reroute To setting (which can be *@newdomain.com)
to have all domain info stripped and replaced with newdomain.com.
Reroute to local address(es)
You can specify one recipient email address (example@domain.com),
or multiple using a comma to separate the addresses (example1@domain.com,example2@domain.com).
Use *@newdomain.com to reroute all catch all email to a new domain e.g. user1@ispdomain.com -> user1@newdomain.com and user2@ispdomain.com -> user2@newdomain.com
Use <localpart>_example@newdomain.com to reroute all catch all email to a new domain e.g. user1@ispdomain.com -> user1_example@newdomain.com and user2@ispdomain.com -> user2_example@newdomain.com
myuser@domain.local
Forward unresolved mail to
When using catch all mailboxes, sometimes recipients cannot be found from the To, CC or BCC headers. In this case the email can be sent to the specified address
