Re-Directing Email

[Thom]

I want to set up a Gmail account so I can use it along with my iPhone, but can't be bothered to go through everything I've signed up for with my hotmail account, so is there any way I can set something up to forward all emails sent to my Hotmail account to my Gmail?

Login to Hotmail and click on Options on the right hand side, then more options.

There's an option in there for forwarding mail to another e-mail account.

Hotmail close inactive accounts after 270 days. So if you forget to login within that time, they delete everything, and emails will stop being forwarded.

this is true

unfortunately Microsoft only allow forwarding to domains ending in hotmail.com, msn.com, or live.com, in other words, trapping you into their services. however you can still use your hotmail account using the IzyMail service.

use this guide to get yourself up and running, its free and it doesn't take too long to set up. it also wont require a new e-mail address to forward your messages to.
