Is there an easy way to move from a Hotmail account to something else, like a Gmail account or a new Hotmail account?

Without losing all the folders, emails, contacts, etc.

Best Answer

You can use Windows Live Mail to download all your Hotmail messages, and then copy them over to your Gmail account. (Instructions here) You don't need Outlook.

Note that you'll have to have IMAP enabled on Gmail in order to use this method.
