    Any easy ways to transfer from one free email provider to another?
    I am fed up with Hotmail's "improved" format, and I am thinking of changing over to another free email provider. Is there any "easy" way to transfer all of what I have saved at Hotmail?
    Or do I need to send each letter saved etc. - one by one :(:eek::confused:?? Thanks!:)

    Depending on what service you choose to use, many will allow you to transfer contacts to another account

    Thanks for your reply, but I do not understand when you say "depending on what service you choose to use"... do you mean i.e. Hotmail and i.e transferring them to i.e.Yahoo, or do you mean service i.e. Safari? Thanks.:confused:

    Thank you for your reply... another "duh" :confused::rolleyes: :o question... when you say "you should be able to transfer your contacts"... do you mean i.e. to open each letter and then forward it to my new email provider, or is there another way that there might be to"transfer your contacts"
    Thanks.;)

    By contacts, he means the people and their e-mail addresses listed in your hotmail address book.
