Link hotmail to gmail

A popular question!

Linking Hotmail to Gmail is not a straightforward process, as they are two separate email services owned by different companies (Microsoft and Google, respectively). However, I can provide you with a few options to help you access your Hotmail emails in Gmail:

Option 1: Forward Hotmail emails to Gmail

  1. Log in to your Hotmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon () and select "More mail settings."
  3. Scroll down to the "Accounts" section and click on "Forwarding."
  4. Enter your Gmail address as the forwarding address.
  5. Set the forwarding option to "Forward my email to another account" and select "Save."

This will forward all incoming emails from your Hotmail account to your Gmail account. However, this method has some limitations, such as:

Option 2: Use a third-party email client or app

There are several third-party email clients and apps that allow you to access multiple email accounts, including Hotmail and Gmail, from a single interface. Some popular options include:

These clients and apps often support multiple email accounts, including Hotmail and Gmail. You can set up your Hotmail account in the client or app and access your emails alongside your Gmail account.

Option 3: Use IMAP or POP3

Hotmail allows you to access your emails using IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) or POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3). You can set up your Hotmail account in Gmail using IMAP or POP3, but this method requires some technical expertise and may have limitations.

To set up IMAP or POP3 in Gmail:

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon () and select "See all settings."
  3. Scroll down to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" section.
  4. Enable IMAP or POP3 and enter your Hotmail account's server settings.

Keep in mind that using IMAP or POP3 may not be the most convenient option, as you'll need to manage your emails in two separate accounts.

In summary, while there isn't a direct way to link Hotmail to Gmail, you can use one of the above options to access your Hotmail emails in Gmail.
