Help! How can I forward a folder from hotmail to another recipient?

4 replies

I have various folders with multiple emails that I need to forward to another person. I am going round in circles without any joy. Can anyone help?
I really don't want to have to send each email individually as if there are more than 1000 messages.
Any ideas?

Have you tried this? You can't forward a folder in email but you should at least be able to forward on the emails in batches.

It's not working as the second step is not possible.

Hmm, yes - I tried it on my outlook.com email address (which I guess uses the same interface as hotmail) and there's no option to forward.

The only other thing I can think of is to download an email client, like the Outlook app to a desktop device, then you will be able to select the emails and forward them on in batches

You might be able to import the emails into a new mail account, like a Gmail account - some instructions for how to do it here. If you can select just one folder to import, this would have copied all the emails to a new account, which you could then give the password to the other person.
