It is possible but you will have to keep your computer online while you are on Holiday.

So I just recommend you use ihug’s web mail.

191856 2003-11-14 22:55:00 You can set up a mail rule I suppose to forward incoming mail to another address, but it means you'd need either ADSL, or to leave your internet online and auto-redialling (in case you get cut off), as it would only receive while you're online.. and therefore forward only when you're online and have received the mail to be forwarded.... Make sense?

+1 for using Ihugs WebMail

+1 for my post-count ;-)

191857 2003-11-14 23:00:00 Try this:
Open up OE
Click Tools
-Message Rules
-Mail

In the "Conditions" scroll to the bottom and choose "For all messages"

In box two, choose "Forward it to people"

And in box 3, click on the blue "people" and insert your hotmail address.

Dont forget Hotmail has a two-meg limit so clear it regularly

And leave your PC connected at home to send/receive (set it to do it every couple of minutes).

Cheers


Chill.

191858 2003-11-14 23:41:00 Are you seriously suggesting leaving the computer on and dialing automatically unattended for extended periods while away from home and in another country.
I suppose you would go on holiday and leave your TV going as well.

I don't believe Windows is reliable enough to do that but regardless what is the point as it is just as easy to bring up Ihug Webmail as it is to access Hotmail.
