I've had a year-long problem with the calendar flashing in my windows Live mail account which prevents new messages from being received and it has been impossible to find a permanent fix. I have had to open a Hotmail account instead and need to have all incoming emails automatically forwarded to this Hotmail account. I'd like to keep a copy of the original incoming emails in Live Mail for a few months until I can notify all my contacts. How do I go about setting that up? I'm not computer savvy, so need very simple instructions.

I've looked for instructions on the web, but find myself confused by the relationship between Live Mail, Outlook and Hotmail.  Are they all separate businesses or different parts of the same (Windows?) enterprise?

Thanks
