Hotmail -> Gmail

---

I was able to forward my dads hotmail account to gmail a couple of months ago to his iphone. I have come to do it for myself for my hero and it looks like hotmail have changed their settings so you can only forward to a private domain.

Has anyone had any luck with forwarding Hotmail to Gmail. Is there is another work around.

Any links as all the ones I have found don't work anymore :(

Yes, there is a workaround.

Enable mobile notifications, make sure you tell it to never send you any SMS (they charge 20p each), and then you'll be able to forward to gmail.

This is what I have done but it won't let me forward to gmail. When was the last time you did this? Btw I'm on hotmail.co.uk

I did it just last week. I am hotmail.com, don't know if that makes a difference.

Were you able to forward to gmail?

Yes, it's forwarding to gmail.

Options->Mobile alerts for new Messages.

I'll see if I can find the blog post tomorrow when I get on my Windows machine at work.

I pull my hotmail to gmail and it works great. Go to add account under gmail settings.

Here's what I used:

i'm thinking that im going to move to gmail and dump hotmail as at the moment I can not get anything to work. I wouldn't even mind paying a bit to sort this out.

paying really should not be needed.

in google settings as said before, you should be able to enter the pop3.live.com settings to access hotmail and pull it across. unless hotmail have blocked access from gmail of course.....
