Actually when trying to do so, the msn would not allow to redirect to any other free email such as gmail. The only allow to theirs such as hotmail.com, msn.com or other own domain.com…

That’s such a disappointment for me, because i really want my hotmail to be inside my gmail….

i tried to divert my hotmail to my gmail account but i can’t. Anybody manage to do that? Or hotmail/MSN do not allow that….

But when gmail start launch IMAP support, i immediately switch the setting from POP3 to IMAP in my thunderbird, but after change then i cant connect to Gmail anymore. So, are you sure now we can really use thunderbird to receive IMAP mail?

Gmail IMAP is a big plus for me. I now get Push Email to my PDA phone (a Treo 680) using ChatterEmail which has a very easy to use Gmail wizard.
The bigger plus is Gmail’s excellent spam filter which means that you don’t get junk pushed into your Inbox!
