How about forwarding from hotmail to gmail? Any suggestions?

I'm sorry, what do you mean by "forwarding"?

sending the mail from hotmail to gmail.

I wouldn't know anything about that. The Evolution mail program may have such capabilities, but it's not something I use so I can't help you here.

There are a copule of ways:

Install emesene and just leave it in the backgound (Enable the libnotify plugin for notifications of new emails). Thats the easy way.

Forward the email to gmail in the settings on Gmail website.

Or just check your email through hotmail.com
