Yesterday morning I checked e-mails using my tablet. Not receiving the e-mail I was looking for I rechecked approximately 4 hours later and received the following message, “This Microsoft account doesn't exist. Enter a different e-mail address or get a new account”. At first I thought this was due to misspelled address or password but after several tries the same message is received. Fortunately the e-mail address works on my PC and I can check e-mails there.

Its been suggested that I be proactive and sent up another e-mail account such as g-mail, for if and when this happens on my PC. That leaves two questions,

1: can my current hotmail account be set up to forward received e-mails to a g-mail account much like automatic call forwarding?

2: can the hotmail contact list be cut and pasted into a g-mail account?
