Forward email from hotmail to gmail, Access hotmail.com in Outlook

[Huaxin Wang]

1. Login hotmail.com

2. Click on "options"

3. In "Manage your account", click on "Forward mail to another e-mail account".

 

Hotmail.com can receive email from other POP servers, but can not receive email from POP3+SSL server of gmail.com.

 

Hotmail.com can also send out email with 5 other "From" email addresses, but the recipients may see the following information: “From: som...@hotmail.com on behalf of na...@example.com".

 

Hotmail.com free account doesn't support HTTP or POP3 access in Outlook Express.  But it supports free access in Outlook through Outlook Connector[1], which can be downloaded free of charge.  Still, gmail.com is a better free email service.

What lousy service.  But they provide NO clear statement of this in the interface or help page!

I only use hotmail.com as rubbish bin now.  Although I cracked it earlier and got the 5G free HTTP mail capable account. :P

 

Yahoo free email doesn't support forwarding at all.

 

Both yahoo and hotmail append advertisements behind email.
