Email POP3 forwards from Hotmail to Gmail take too long

email-forwardingoutlook.com

I am forwarding email from my Hotmail to Gmail account. Typically it's taking at least an hour before it arrives in my Gmail after I have received it in my Hotmail.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this?

When you add POP3 Accounts in gmail it checks them periodically. If I am receiving mail frequently (based on the last checks gmail made) it might check every 20 minutes otherwise it might check once an hour.

You can manually request gmail to check your accounts by going to Settings > Accounts and Import > scroll down to "Check mail using POP3" > then click on "Check Mail Now"
