i have over 300 hotmail emails that i'd like to save to my computer. i know how to do it one at a time, but does anyone know a way i could save them all at once easily? i just got gmail so i don't need hotmail anymore.

Download them to outlook or outlook express. You just add a new account (http mail) and put in your hotmail details. Then copy them to one of your local folders.

Yeh, sometimes it's a bit slow. I don't know what impact having that many emails will have either. Long as you've got a fast connection you should be ok, just keep plugging away.

Forward them all the your GMAIL account. I have all my Hotmails saved locally and on GMAIL. ]

That said, are you using an MSN account or a Hotmail account? I would imagine there's a difference...

well i signed up when msn and hotmail accounts were both free so i just chose @msn instead of @hotmail, so there wasn't a difference at the time. thanks for the replies.

if i forwarded them, wouldn't i have to do it one at a time?
