Outlook 2003

[PeterC]

Hello help is needed,
I am trying to redirect mail from my POP/SMTP servers to Hotmail without
opening Outlook 2003.
EG Mail sent to my account via POP/SMTP in Outlook 2003 appearing in Hotmail
Live without opening.
I have tried the following and been successful:
I can redirect mail via rules but only after opening Outlook 2003. I dont
have the rule REDIRECT in the list.
I can via Outlook connector see my Hotmail in Outlook 2003. But that is the
opposite to what I need.
I have signed up for Windows Live Plus which allows me the same as connector.

What I need to do is open Hotmail and see mail sent to my account POP/SMTP
in Outlook 2003

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't believe that Outlook can do anything if it isn't open and it
won't forward anything until it polls for emails.

Alias is correct on his answer to your issue

You would need to redirect/forward pop mail to your hotmail account at your
pop mail/ISP end, if they support such.
Otherwise Outlook would need to be open for any rules to run
Outlook is an email client it is not a mail account/isp

Outlook does not run rules on non-outlook pop3 or exchange accounts.

Thanks guys. That then begs the question can I have Windows Live ID become my
account instead of outlook.
