Hotmail forwarding is a term used to describe the automatic forwarding of email from one email account to another. For example, do you keep many email addresses with providers like Hotmail, Yahoo Gmail, and other POP3 accounts, but find it difficult to keep track of all incoming and outgoing messages?

Do you find it troublesome to have to access each email provider’s websites and repeatedly type your username and password just to access all accounts?

Most free mail providers don’t like to redirect email from your account established with them to your other email addresses that you maintain with another provider simply because the very act takes you away from their main service offering. As such, they will generally allow automatic email forwarding to your other account with another provider if you sign up for their premium account for a fee.

We’ll show you where you can get the FREE email redirect! If you use Hotmail email as your primary account, email providers such as Gmail and a list of other free POP3 and email redirection providers below allow automatic Hotmail forwarding.

In case you want to know what POP3 stands for, it is just a shorthand for “Post Office Protocol”, a term used to describe how users can retrieve their emails from a remote server. Today, many free email providers use POP3 to facilitate retrieval of emails from their respective servers. Please review all POP3 mail and email redirection providers listed below.

Hotmail forwarding is easy. Now we will show you how you can redirect email from your other addresses to your Hotmail email. Best of all, this service is FREE!

List of redirect email and POP3 email providers that allow FREE Hotmail forwarding.

3. GMail allows email redirection to your Hotmail for free. You have the option of allowing you to keep a copy in your Gmail or automatically delete it after forwarding it to your Hotmail or any other POP3 mail provider.

4. Hotmail Email – Forwarding only allows you to redirect your emails to other accounts within the Microsoft (Msn) network, such as msn, live, or Hotmail. Hotmail forwarding to your other email address within the msn network can be accomplished by logging into the inbox of your Hotmail email account.

5. Pobox: You can sign up to receive Pobox mail or your own domain for a free 30-day trial. Pobox allows you to forward up to 5 email / destination addresses and has many great features such as spam protection, outgoing SMTP access, URL redirection, and vacation mail.

6. PrimeMail is another free email redirection provider that is suitable for forwarding to your Hotmail account or other email account. It has three options for you to choose from. 1) Use Prime mail only to forward email to Hotmail email account or wherever you want all your mails forwarded. 2) Create a Prime mail account where you can use it to send / receive Prime mail or automatically redirect your email to another address. With this option, your incoming emails will be retained in your Prime email account and you will have to access your email account and be able to delete each email manually. 3) Create a Prime email account with a webmail address and set it to delete all mail after 3 or more days after it is forwarded to Hotmail email or another address of your choice.

Always remember, if you are testing the automatic email redirection services from the above providers, do not use the same email address that you are using to forward the message. I have tried it and in most cases it fails.

Once all your emails are forwarded to your Hotmail email, you can immediately write, read, send or reply to all your messages and this can be accomplished from your single email account.
