Hotmail forwarding is a term used to describe the automatic forwarding of email from one email account to another. For example, do you maintain many email addresses with providers like Hotmail, Yahoo Gmail, and other POP3 accounts but find it difficult to keep track of all your incoming and outgoing messages?
Do you find it troublesome having to access each email provider’s website and repeatedly typing your username and password just to access each account?
Most free mail providers don’t like to redirect email from your account established with them to your other email addresses maintained with another provider simply because the very act is taking you away from their core service offering. As such, they will usually allow automatic email forwarding to your other account with another provider if you sign up for their premium account for a fee.
We’ll show you where you can get FREE email forwarding! If you use Hotmail email as your primary account, email providers like Gmail and a list of other free email forwarders and POP3 providers below allow Hotmail auto-forwarding.
In case you want to know what POP3 stands for, it’s just a shorthand for “Post Office Protocol,” a term used to describe how users can retrieve their emails from a remote server. Today, many free web-based mail providers commonly use POP3 to make it easy to retrieve emails from their respective servers. Please review all of the POP3 email and email forwarding providers listed below.

4. Hotmail Email: Forwarding only allows you to redirect your emails to other accounts within the Microsoft Network (Msn), such as msn, live, or Hotmail account. Hotmail forwarding to your other email address within the msn network can be achieved by logging into your Hotmail email account inbox.

6. PrimeMail is another free email forwarding provider that is suitable for forwarding to your Hotmail or other mail account. It has three options for you to choose from. 1) Use Prime Mail only to forward emails to Hotmail email account or where you want all your mail forwarded 2) Create a Prime Mail account where you can use it to send/receive within Prime Mail or auto forward your email to another address. With this option, your incoming emails will be kept in your Prime email account and you will need to access your email account and you can delete each email manually. 3) Create a Prime Mail account with a webmail address and set it to delete all mail after 3 or more days after it is forwarded to Hotmail email or another address of your choice.
Always remember, if you are testing the automatic email redirection services of the above providers, do not use the same email address that you are using to forward the message. I’ve tried it and most of the time it fails.
Once all your emails are forwarded to your Hotmail email, you can immediately write, read, send or reply to all your messages and this can be done from your single email account.
