Moving from Gmail to Hotmail

aj9648

Hi

I am looking to move my email account from Gmail to Hotmail. Is there anyway of also moving all the emails I have in my gmail account without having to do it manually?

Also is there an dummies guide to configuring Outlook to receive and send Hotmail emails anywhere? I have tried some on the web but outlook does not seem to like the settings I have used

Thanks

Have you tried this?

Why move from Gmail to Hotmail(outlook.com)?, Hotmail is notorious for people getting hacked !

You don't need a micrs**t email to use skydrive. I signed up using my gmail account when i upgraded to windows 8, So in effect my gmail address is my windows live ID:)

You can also have a hotmail address just for skydrive if you wish and stick to gmail. I do and its no problem.

I moved the other way, from hotmail to gmail, the new hotmail layout is shocking!!

Ensure you set-up a good security question otherwise yes your account will get hacked..

Dropbox is much better than skydrive.
