you can do it but not sure on bulk ?

you just forward the mail on and add in the new addy. Have you tried it through Outlook ? I use outlook to sort out my MSN mail, it has more options than the online side of the mail service ?

I've read that there is no guarantee that Outlook will keep providing support for hotmail - the problem seems to be that reading via Outlook means that you avoid all the ads... For the same reason, there's no POP3/IMAP access... Ah... the wonders of proprietary e-mail systems... doncha just luv 'em...?

In gmail, click on Settings, then the accounts tab, and there is a facility there in "Get mail from other accounts" for adding an email address to be sent to your gmail (sorry, if that doesn't make sense).

That only works for POP3 though, doesn't it...?

When you click on the link, it just asks you to add an email address ~ I don't know whether it has to be a POP3 address.

The only way you can find out would be to try I suppose?

Mine says:

Get mail from other accounts:
(download mail using POP3)

And the form asks you to enter hostname and port for a POP server...

Give what a go, Marc? Ain't no POP3 server for Hotmail... You can't collect it from Gmail...
