    Log into your DCU email account.

    On the Settings menu on the left side bar, click "Preferences".

    Now click "Mailbox".

    And once there select "Autoforward all mail to:" and enter the email address you want it forwared to (ie your Windows Live, Gmail etc account)

    Hey there.

    Go to windows mail, find the 'add account' or 'account' section, and put in the following wherever you can!

    Server type: IMAP
    incoming mail server: mail.dcu.ie
    outgoing mail server: mail.dcu.ie

    and your username and password. This will let windows mail download your emails straight to computer. Get back to us, y'hear!

    You want your DCU mail to be delivered in Windows Mail?...

    In that case you'll need to find DCU's POP3 or IMAP server address (it might be something like "mail.dcu.ie" or "mail2.dcu.ie", but that's just a wild guess).

    If you find out the POP3 setting, open Windows Mail and go to "Tools" > "Accounts..." > "Add" > "E-mail account" and then enter your details and the details of your email address.

    EDIT: Was watching Intermission and missed the above reply... looks like one of my guesses were right tho!
