Forward hotmail to outlook account
To forward Hotmail emails to an Outlook account, you'll need to set up a forwarding rule in your Hotmail account. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:
Method 1: Forwarding emails using the Hotmail web interface
- Sign in to your Hotmail account.
- Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner and select "More mail settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the "Accounts" section and click on "Forwarding".
- Click on the "Add a forwarding address" button.
- Enter the email address of your Outlook account (e.g., [youroutlookemail]@outlook.com).
- Click on the "Verify" button to confirm the email address.
- Click on the "Save" button to save the forwarding rule.
Method 2: Forwarding emails using the Outlook web interface
- Sign in to your Outlook account.
- Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner and select "View all Outlook settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the "Mail" section and click on "Forwarding".
- Click on the "Add a forwarding address" button.
- Enter the email address of your Hotmail account (e.g., [yourhotmailemail]@hotmail.com).
- Click on the "Verify" button to confirm the email address.
- Click on the "Save" button to save the forwarding rule.
Note: If you're using Method 1, you may need to wait for a few hours for the forwarding rule to take effect. If you're using Method 2, the forwarding rule should take effect immediately.
Tips:
- Make sure you have a valid email address for both your Hotmail and Outlook accounts.
- If you're using a custom domain email address (e.g., [yourname]@yourdomain.com), you may need to set up a separate forwarding rule for that domain.
- Forwarding emails may take some time to complete, depending on the volume of emails in your Hotmail account.
- If you're experiencing issues with forwarding emails, you can try checking your email account settings or contacting Microsoft Support for assistance.
