Answer» I'm THINKING about doing this because I want an easy way at home to download and keep emails on my computer. I don't plan on giving this email address out because I'm afraid of spam and getting mail I don't want. I plan to forward mail to this from other accounts that I want to keep. What do you think? Also, importantly, I want to be able to download the emails and save them in a format that I won't have any problems viewing. For example, I get an email from JCPenny (for example), and it has all kinds of graphics and different fonts, will I be able to download that email and view it. Along with simple emails that are simple text friends? I've tried the POP thing and cannot get it to work and want to download email like I mentioned before as easily as it is to upload photos to Photobucket. Another big question about Hotmail, will I have to download anything onto my computer to do this. Or will it be the opposite, so to speak, of uploading to Photobucket. I just CHOOSE the path or place to put the documents and there they go? Most e-mails services will let you auto-forward all mail to another e-mail address. For example, my Hotmail account will forward everything over to my yahoo account, if that is what I specify in the options. Many users still prefer POP over web-mail.
