Would you like to send and receive email using a personalized email address such as bevis@barber.net instead of a branded webmail account like beavis.barber@hotmail.com? Hotmail allows you to use your hover forwarding email address as the from address when sending outgoing mail.
First you will need to set up your Hover Email forward to send to the email address you are recieving through Hotmail. We have put together an article on setting up your email forwarding here. Once that is done you can set up the sending using the following instructions:
The main Hotmail page, click on Options near the top right of the page then select More options.
Click on "Send and receive mail from other e-mail accounts."
In the "You can send email from these accounts" section, click on "Add another account to send mail from."
Type in your hover forwarding address then click on "Send verification e-mail."
Click on "Go to inbox."
Open the verification email and click on the link to verify your hover address.
Verification email example.
The verification has been completed.
Email can now be sent within Hotmail using bevis@barber.net as the From address.
If you want your hover forwarding account to be set as your default account for all outgoing mail, then you can change this by going back into the mail options section using these steps:
1. Click on Options and select More Options.
2. Click on "Send and receive mail from other e-mail accounts."
3. Click on the "Use as default" link next to your hover forwarding address.
