Hotmail problem/query re: forwarding!

Hi
I have a Hotmail a/c and wanted to know how/if you can set up so emails that land in that email a/c are automatically forwarded to a nominated email address?

I tried help function while in the Hotmail a/c and couldn't find what I wanted. I went through their different facilities and couldn't find it, plus googled my question and no help there...

I'm not a bit techie so wonder if I've just missed something?
Is it possible to set up Hotmail email to arrive in another a/c?
THanks in hope!
Mup

    Not throug the usual web interface, but it may be possible, I've never tried, through using Outlook express, which is free to install if you don't have it already.

    Do a google for something like "Outlook express mail forwarding" and see how you get on.

    In Outlook Express you Can set-up a Hotmail Account.

    Open OE, Tools, Accounts, Add, Mail, Insert Name, Insert E-mail
    and on the next Tab Choose HTTP not POP and carry on creating the account.
