Microsoft does not support mail forwarding (Score 1)

Hotmail and all "Live" services lock you in by not allowing you to forward email. This prevents you from migrating your Microsoft address. I have encountered this issue numerous times when organizations start up with Hotmail addresses, then need to a better system. They need to continue logging in to Hotmail for years until they are sure that the published Hotmail address is no longer being used.

Every other major free mail service supports mail forwarded. I strongly recommend against ANY organization or person using Microsoft mail services because of this. You will be stuck!
