Click on that link and it will take you to it. In this case the "full article" is very short: "Not that I'm aware of.".

Drex: Forwarded services are totally up to the email provider to actually provide. In the case of your netscape email address, either netscape needs to provide the functionality to forward, or it can't be done. Sorry.

http://www.email-forwarding.biz picks up and forwards email from MSN, Hotmail, AOL and POP3 accounts for a fee.

www.ReturnPath.com also offers this service. It's designed for a moved address more than for regular forwarding, and it will even give you the option of notifying senders individually, en mass, or not at all, of the correct/new address.

http://GTransfer.com can auto-forward your Hotmail/MSN email to any email account for a small fee.

i have just got a new hotmail account and i want to forward all of my saved email from my old account to my new one. i have alot of emails to forward, what would b the quickest way of forwarding them all? please help!!

One by one. I'm not aware of any quick ways.

I came across the post regarding moving mail from hotmail to hotmail, oddly enough, while I was researching what seems to be a solution for you. I don’t know how savvy you are but if you go to this site: http://www.fastmail.fm/mail/?STKI=71258, and sign up for their free service it will give you an email account that can be accessed from Outlook or Outlook Express using the IMAP protocol. What you can then do is add an account for the old hotmail, new hotmail and the new fastmail account in your email program (e.g. Outlook and the like). Then all you have to do is open your email program and copy all of your messages from your old hotmail into the new fastmail IMAP account and then from there copy them into the new hotmail account. If you need help these pages provide info on setting up an email client to use IMAP and Hotmail:

P.S. - now that i think about it you amy just be able to add both hotmail accounts in outlook and just copy from old inbox to new. just a thought!
