Hotmail/MSN Transfer
Easily transfer from Hotmail or MSN Mail. There is no limit to the number of accounts that can be transferred. You can choose to mark mail as read, delete it from Hotmail servers, or leave it unread in your mail folder. The same message is never forwarded multiple times. GetMail can also back up your emails if needed.
Transfer from Multiple Folders
Hotmail and MSN accounts allow you to transfer from bulk mail folders and other personal folders that you have set up as needed.
Mark the source folder of mail
GetMail can mark which Hotmail/MSN folder a forwarded email came from, so you can easily sort the mail by the destination account.
POP3 Forwarding
Forwarding emails from any POP3 mailbox makes it easy to have all your emails in one place. Emails can be deleted or left on the server. Neither method will forward the same message more than once. It supports SSL (Gmail).
Forward as many recipient emails to your forwarding account as you like.
BUILT-IN SPAM FILTER
GetMail has a simple built-in spam filter that allows you to stop forwarding spam or mark it for processing in the destination account.
EXE and ZIP File Filtering
Automatically filter emails containing these types of attachments that are not accepted by some email providers (Gmail).
Forwarding for AOL, YAHOO + and many other webmail systems
GetMail supports forwarding with the free tool FreePOPS. By using FreePOPS as your POP3 server, you can use GetMail to forward from literally hundreds of webmail-only mail systems, including AOL and Yahoo. FreePOPS can be used to transfer from a user’s girlfriend’s Hotmail account with WebDAV access disabled.
Bulk migration tool
GetMail can backup your entire email account without transferring. Then you can use the migration tool to migrate all the backed up emails at once. This feature is intended for users who want to bypass Hotmail/MSN sending limits.
Using GetMail for Hotmail
Receiving emails on your mobile device
GetMail forwards your emails to a POP3 email account of your choice. Most modern mobile devices, including Blackberries, can access POP3 email natively, making getting Hotmail very easy. Hotmail/MSN and many other web-only email providers do not support POP3 servers.
Keep Your Emails Together
Most email users have at least three accounts. With GetMail, he can easily organize his emails into one account, simplifying his daily email checks. Simply reply using your current address and any contacts using your old address will be assigned a new address.
Monitoring Your Child’s Email
You can monitor the communications your child receives by forwarding a copy of your child’s email to your account and leaving a copy on our servers. It is very easy to isolate this email for yourself using mail client rules.
Spam Filter Legacy Accounts
If you have an old account that does not support spam filtering, you can use GetMail to filter spam while forwarding it to your new account. The RPOP feature offered by some email providers does not filter spam.
The Perfect Gmail Companion
If you have a GMail account, you need GetMail. GetMail bundles all your old accounts into a new GMail account (with the option to transfer them to another account, perhaps for mobile device access?). Gmail is large enough to maintain a store for all your emails, but with POP3 support you can read your emails through your email client. With the right setup, it’s easy to get permanent “anywhere access” to all your email (web, mobile device, email client).
