All you have to do is sign up for a hotmail account and have your gmail (or anywhere else) forward to the hotmail account as well. Then go into the settings and make sure the email is set to receive when its delivered.


Some people says it doesn't work for them but they must be doing something wrong. I had this on my mogul, touch and now the Touch Pro. My TP sometimes get the mail faster then the computer.

Hey I'm giving the Windows Live email a try, after using Mail2Web for quite a while. Really hoping it improves my TP's battery life.

One thing I haven't been able to figure out is if I can change my replied-from address. Is this possible? Would be perfect if it looked like it came from my gmail account.

setup a gmail account manually in your outlook mobile etc and don't have it schedule sync or anything. Thats the only way I can think of doing it.

And then just copy and paste the email and reply from the gmail account? You can't just select which account to send from, you'd have to just reply from the gmail account without the senders text, right? Then you also would have to do a send/receive to send right? or does outlook send immediately? I haven't noticed because I've been using hotmail and it sends right away.......

I actually don't have this setup on my phone because I don't send emails from my phone, I just read 'em.



I BELIEVE when you reply, you CAN pick the email you want to send from if you have multiple email accounts on your Mobile Outlook.


try it out and see what happen

I believe this is the one snag with mail2web, you can't change the replied-from address, and remember that gmail forwarded to that account won't be kept on the gmail server. I have been reading that there's a "pay option" that allows SMTP on the site but I can't find it. I have heard someone mention that they are doing "reverse forwarding" from mail2web, so I wonder if that's how they get the mail to go back to gmail to be archived? I don't know how you'd do that without getting duplicate messages unless maybe you labeled all mail from "mail2web" to be labeled and archived, and not forwarded back to the mail2web account?

If anyone has instructions for this, I'd appreciate it!
