Depending on the options available in your existing email service, there are different ways to forward email from to your Hosted Exchange Email mailbox.

• If your webmail account supports email forwarding, there may be a setting or a properties option that allows you to set up email forwarding. If so, select it and specify your new email address as the 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 Hosted Exchange Email mailbox. This is known as mail relay.

1. From the Start menu, click Control Panel, click Mail, click Show Profiles, click Properties, and then click E-mail Accounts.
2. On the E-mail tab, click New.
3. In the Choose E-mail Service dialog box, click Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP (ask your email provider which protocol you need to use to access your email account), and then click Next.
4. Select Manually configure server settings or additional server types, and then click Next.
5. In the Choose E-mail Service dialog box, click Internet E-mail, and then click Next.
