    I am currently using 3 Hotmail accounts with Outlook Express. Since Outlook Express will no longer support Hotmail as of June 30 per the e-mail from Microsoft. (^%$# it!) if I open say a new G-Mail account is there a way to forward or transfer all of my old e-mail to the new account other than simply forwarding each message singly/ Ideally I would like to have all my old e-mails from the current inboxes and if possible those that I have saved in local folders transferred to a new - non Microsoft account.
    Thanks for all your help in advance

    Hello Herd

    If you are using OE6 then you can hold down the ctrl key while taging them, once highlited the forward!!!!

    I would cleanup first and leave only msgs that I wanted to forward then do a Ctrl A to slect all then forward.

    Don't forget to look in sent items you mat want some of these also.

    Address book!

    OE currently has all your mail correct?

    Delete the Hotmail account settings - Add the Gmail account - ALL DONE

    Thanks much!

    Who could have thought it was that simple? Do I add the G-mail account first and then delete the Hotmail settings or the other way around?
    Thanks again

    It doesn't matter. But I'd add the gmail account first and make sure it works.
