Rolando Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 People usually send me mail on my hotmail account, and I remember I used to be able to forward my messages to any other email (which is something most email services provide). Hotmail now disabled this feature also :/ I want to forward my messages to my GMail account but I can't :pinch: How desperate can they become ?!

MackDiesel2010 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 wow that is like three new things they have done out of desperation - block gmail, increase space, and no forwarding. you can forward in outlook though.

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted June 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 22, 2004 aren't there like rules that forbid hotmail from blocking gmail and disabling mail forwarding ? No, it's a free service so they can delete emails at random, if they really want. You basically have no rights to complain when you're dealing with something you're getting for free.

Rolando Posted June 22, 2004 Author Share Posted June 22, 2004 If you go to the help section they'll tell you how that's done... however, there is no "Mail Forwarding" section unlike what the help says!

kjordan2001 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 on top of each message, there's a forward buttonit doesn't appear for you guys? He's talking about getting new mail automatically forwarded, not forwarding your existing mail.

Deepu Sudhakar Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 There are two types of forwarding: 1) You can forward individual emails to other accounts. 2) Mail forwarding allows you to automatically forward all emails received at one account to another. I believe it is the latter feature that is missing. I thought was only available to paid members anyways.

+John Teacake MVC Posted June 22, 2004 MVC Share Posted June 22, 2004 I dont beleive for a minuite that Hotmail are blocking G Mail. People and there paranoia. I will continue to use hotmail because its Ad free. Although I will use G Mail becuase I prefer variety and most of my noob mates wont even know what G Mail is.
