Get emails from Hotmail in Gmail account

Lets get a little bit out of this blog topics, and learn how to config a gmail account to receive your @hotmail or @live account emails.

In your Gmail account, go to Settings and choose the accounts tab.

To config the Gmail to Send mail as:
Click on the blue link "Add another email address you own".
Write your Name and your hotmail ou live email address, in the text boxes.
Gmail will make a verification of the email address you just wrote.
After you've made all the steps to verify that you own this email address.
It's all done.

To config the Gmail to Get mail from other accounts:

Click on the blue link "Add another email address you own".
Write the email address you own. And go to the next step.
In here, you have to fill three text boxes: Username, Password and PopServer.
Fill in the Username with your email address, like me@hotmail.com.
Fill the password for this account.
In the PopServer box write pop3.live.com in Port 995.
Check the box "Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail".
If you want, label it, so you know when the emails arrived from hotmail.

That's it, it's all setup and running.
Now you can receive and send messages like if you were on the hotmail page.

Hope you find this usefull.
