Getting emails from hotmail to another email automatically

Slackjaw190 · 11 Jun 2007 at 18:44

Well the title says it really. Hotmail is blocked at work and i need some of those emails. I used to have my uni email (it used outlook) autoamtically sent to my hotmail but can i have my emails in my hotmail automatically forwarded to my work email?

I cant seem to find the option (if it exists)

Thx

Unfortunately i don't think hotmail has a forwarding option.
What i did was use gmail to fetch my hotmail and then forward my gmail to my work email. Worked for me!

Try a proxy instead and see if you can get to hotmail

At the moment Izymail is working.

Takes a while for the hotmail email to go from hotmail->gmail->work email.
also its only free for a trial.

Can you explain how going through a proxy will allow gmail to fetch emails form hotmail?

Sorry i meant it in terms of going straight to hotmail rather than through gmail. If you can get to hotmail theres no need to have gmails fetching your emails as well.

There is as I want them forwarded via gmail. also its easier to have all email in one location.
