How to Forward Windows Live Hotmail to eTextMail

How to automatically forward all of your incoming Windows Live Hotmail messages to eTextMail so that you can receive them as Text messages on your cell phone.

  1. Login to your account and then click on "Options" in the upper right corner.
  2. And then at the bottom of the resulting list, click on "More options..."
  3. Click on the link labeled "Forward mail to another e-mail account".
  4. That will take you to the Forwarding page.
  5. Select "Forward your emails to another e-mail address".
  6. Type your eTextMail email address in the provided text box.
  7. Your can optionally select to keep copies of your emails in Hotmail inbox.
  8. Click on the "Save" button.

IMPORTANT: Windows Live Hotmail will send a confirmation message to your specified eTextMail email address. You must read and act on that message before forwarding can begin. This ensures that you do have access to your eTextMail email account.

Once you have finished this step, all your Windows Live Hotmail messages will be forwarded to your eTextMail address and to your cell phone as Text messages until you turn it off or until your Hotmail account is closed.

Note: if your Hotmail account is closed, then message forwarding will stop. You should definitely log into your Windows Live account periodically to make sure that it remains open.
