Hotmail no longer allows free Pop3 access to the mail server. You need to have paid for the service. There are a couple of 3rd-party programs that act as a go between but again, it is not free.

Trust me, there is no shortage of Gmail invites in this world wide web. Gmail works flawlessly with Omni Mail 2 for me. Beautiful little widget.

You get a Gmail account by getting an invitation. I have a couple hundred if you want. Email me with the request at peteyDOTjonesATgmailDOTcom and I will get one off to you. About forwarding hotmail, not sure. Some accounts can, some can't. I will play around and see, but my guess is you can't.

Sure it does. I just sent myself an email from my Hotmail account and it made it no problems. Obviously you have to change things a little bit, such as:
DOT=.
AT=@

But it works just fine. I get multiple emails there every day. Try again.

No thanks, that still leaves an address that SPAM bots could harvest. I would rather type it a little mit more confusing.
