How do you forward mail from hotmail to gmail?
you can do it by using Microsoft Outlook. Here is a guide:


Forward without notification





You should use this method if you do not want people sending you email to be aware that your mail is being forwarded, nor that you have an alternate email address.





To set forwarding without notification:


1. In the Outlook Inbox, click on Tools | Rules and Alerts to display the Rules and Alerts dialog box. If a window appears asking whether to keep “Client” rules or “Server” rules, click on the Server button.


2. In the Rules Wizard dialog box, click on the New Rule button to display the first step in the rule creation wizard.








3. Click in the Start from a blank rule box, make sure that the Check messages when they arrive option is selected and click on the Next button. The second step in the rule creation wizard will be displayed. This step lets you set conditions.


4. For the rule to apply to all incoming messages, make sure that none of the conditions are ticked and click on the Next button. A warning message will be displayed.


5. Click on the Yes button to confirm that you want the rule to be applied to all incoming email. The third step in the rule creation wizard will be displayed. This step lets you set actions.


6. In the list of actions, tick redirect it to people or distribution list. (Do not tick “forward it to people or distribution list” as this option is a client only action and requires Outlook to be running for it to work.) The redirect statement will be added to the rule description area.


7. In the rule description area, click on the blue underlined phrase people or distribution list to set the address to send messages to. The Rule Address dialog box will be displayed.


8. An internal address can be selected by choosing it from the list in the left pane and clicking on the To button. An external address can be typed directly into the right pane.


9. After specifying the address to forward to, click on the OK button to return to the Rules and Alerts step 3 dialog box.


10. The redirect action only forwards a copy of the incoming mail to the specified destination. The original message will remain in your LSE Inbox. To avoid a build up of forwarded mail in your Inbox, it is recommended that you also tick the delete it option. This will only delete the LSE copy of the message and not affect the forwarded copy. (Do not tick the “permanently delete it” option as this option is a client only action and requires Outlook to be running for it to work.)





Note: Selecting the delete option in addition to the redirect option will forward a copy of the incoming message and then move it to the Deleted Items folder. It will remain there until the Deleted Items folder is emptied. Messages in the Deleted Items folder count towards the size of the mailbox and can cause the mailbox to go over quota. Emptying the Deleted Items folder regularly will prevent this from happening. The Deleted Items folder can also be emptied via the web email service by clicking on the “Empty Deleted Items Folder” button.





11. Click on the Finish button and the rule will be listed in the Rules and Alerts window.


12. Click on the OK button.
