Depending on the options available in your existing email service, there are different ways to forward email from a different account to your Microsoft Email mailbox:

• If your Web mail account supports email forwarding, a setting or a properties option should allow you to specify an email address to which you want to forward your email messages.
• If you cannot find a forward email setting, ask your current email service provider to forward your email to your new Microsoft Email mailbox. This is known as "mail relay".
