How to Forward Hotmail Email

Because hotmail is designed to be accessed only via a web browser, it cannot be easily forwarded. There are two ways VersaForward can help with hotmail forwarding.

VersaForward Service

The first approach of Email Forwarding is the easiest and what we recommend for most people. You can sign-up for VersaForward Service and provide us with your hotmail login information. Our service is always running and will forward your new hotmail emails to your mobile device (Blackberry or cell phone) or other email address.

VersaForward Personal

The second approach is more difficult and only recommended for advanced users. Our VersaForward Personal software can be installed and run on your home computer. It does require that your computer is always running when you want your hotmail forwarding. VersaForward Personal is designed to work with POP email accounts. In order to be able to access your hotmail email as a POP account, you need to run a third party program such as MrPostman or FreePOPs. These programs use a custom port and run a POP server locally which can access hotmail email. As a result, VersaForward Personal can then access your hotmail messages and forward them to as many places as you need them.

Both VersaForward Service and VersaForward Personal can be setup to hotmail forward only the emails you may want with filters. In addition to that, VersaForward Service can also filter out any undesirable spam emails you may get at your hotmail account.
