In Canada: Redirecting email from accounts at canada.com costs CAD $9.95/year. It used to be that you had to login at least once every 30 days to maintain the account. The minimal charge replaced that necessity. It's not only good for Blackberry owners, but also members of international organizations with published memberlists, when you occasionally change ISPs.

It is possible. Try http://www.e-eeasy.com/GetMail.aspx It lets you forward from a hotmail address. I can't verify it's use, but a person could set up a new folder and transfer *crucial* emails to that folder as it appears this forwarding program only clears out inbox/bulk folder. Also I assume if you use the various POP helpers around the internet for downloading of yahoo/hotmail (ie. http://yahoopops.sourceforge.net/ http://www.boolean.ca/hotpop/) you can get great results.

I myself hope to start moving all emails from yahoo/hotmail to gmail as these services are starting to annoy me more than help me!

Hi LEO!!

getmail does not work any longer unless you upgrade your hotmail account for pop access.

Their faq section says it's the result of recent changes at hotmail that requires a paid account to allow pop access. I have been using getmail for a few months and it worked flawlessly, 3 days ago it stopped forwarding my mail.
I'm now looking for an alternative.

Sorry guys, actually their faq says it will no longer work in May 2005, ie getmail should be still working until then. I think my antivirus is preventing the program from working for me after the last virus definition update. Bottom line folks... try getmail and report back if you are still successful.

It's a great program, hopefully I get my situation resolved soon.

this program used to work fairly well, but I haven't tried the newer one with all the changes on the Y! and HM sites.

I'm also removing your phone numbers from the post - it's an VERY bad idea to post things like that publicly.

http://www.sspi-software.com this site has a program called Mail Forward. It forwards mail from hotmail, msn, yahoo, and more...even the accounts with forwarding supposedly disabled. Works great and is only 15 bucks.

Technically you can forward from Hotmail if you have their most exensive account
