Tips and considerations

• When you forward your Hotmail account to Gmail, you will no longer receive emails directly in your Hotmail inbox. All emails will be forwarded to your Gmail inbox.
• If you have any filters or rules set up in your Hotmail account, they will not be transferred to your Gmail account.
• You may experience some delays in receiving emails, as the forwarding process may take a few minutes.
• If you want to keep your Hotmail account active, you can still log in to it and access your emails. However, you will not receive new emails in your Hotmail inbox.
