Anyway to re-direct emails from my ISP account to my Hotmail account?

[NotoriousJTC]

I suck when it comes to this sort of stuff...



I don't really check my ISP provided email account that often, but occasionally there is the rare email that i need to view. Ideally, id like to have all emails going there re-directed to my more used Hotmail account. Is there a way of doing it? Or is it dependant on whether or not hotmail and/or my ISP allows it?

If it's a small little ISP, you can try calling up and sweet talking your ISP to see if they can put a forward on your email account. If it's a big company like AOL, Earthlink, ect, you may not have as much luck.

I'm using Telus. Guess I'm SOL.

Another option - and it's a pain in the ass - is to leave outlook express/outlook open all the time and set up a rule to forward incoming emails over to your hotmail account.

I thought about that. But i don't use O.E. to begin with so doing so would defeat the original purpose of trying to make things easier.

well you don't just have to use outlook express. Virtually any email client will do this for you
