Is there a way to automatically forward e-mails from one address to the other?

Question

I had a hotmail account that I rarely use anymore. I switched to gmail awhile ago. I sent out an e-mail informing everyone on my contacts list of my new gmail address. Most people now e-mail me at my current address, but a few dumb ones still send mail to the hotmail one, which means I periodically have to check it. I hate doing this because it's so full of garbage and spam that wading through it seems like a chore. Is there anything I can do to have all e-mails automatically sent from my hotmail address to my gmail one? Or do I have to send out yet another e-mail informing people of my new e-mail address?

Answer 1

If you redirect to Gmail you will still get all the spam. lol But Gmail have a better spam filter I think.
Under Message Menu there is usually an option to redirect emails.

Answer 2

As other has given you the answers. There is not immidiate way to receive messages from hotmail to gmail. But you can receive your hotmail messages into yahoo mail. but I am still trying to find better solution for it just wait for a while.

Answer 3

Hotmail has this option only for premium costumers. From Gmail and yahoo mail you can click option and then find POP3 forwarding , and you can change options from there. Also you can do the same with the e-mail adress your internet provider gave to you.

Answer 4
