There are both manual and automated solutions to transfer emails from Hotmail to Gmail automatically. Most users transfer because Gmail offers the advantage of more storage, better security, and better spam filtering compared to Hotmail.

Manual Method to Forward Hotmail to Gmail:

You can opt for either Microsoft Outlook or the built-in import service of Gmail. For Outlook, you’ll first need to configure both Hotmail and Gmail accounts. Then with the drag-and-drop operation, you will shift emails from Hotmail to your Gmail account. In comparison, using Gmail, Settings > Accounts and Import > Import Mail and Contacts will automatically draft an email in which you’ll be required to place the Hotmail details to begin with the transfer process. Although this process is efficient, the manual operation is tedious and can also cause alteration in data.

Automatic Process:

For simplicity and reliability, the DRS Hotmail Backup Tool has been designed to have a smooth, reliable transfer of your Hotmail emails into Gmail with just a click. This tool supports multiple file formats and Email Clients, ensuring the transfer is smooth without any data loss. One will just have to log in with their Hotmail and Gmail credentials and so on.

Although it is achievable via manual procedures, the preferred and accurate way of forwarding your Hotmail emails to Gmail is by using automated tools like the Hotmail Backup Tool.
