Redirecting all emails automatically
Hi, I use an email address through my ISP for business purposes. I can not receive alerts on my phone when out and about, so I want all incoming emails to be automatically redirected to my hotmail (not to reply from that). I have installed the Redirect add on, but can't see how to do this and can't find information online to state how. Can you help, please? Huge thanks.

I think you would be better off investigating the services offered by Hotmail and your ISP's email service. You may find that Hotmail can collect your messages from the other account, or that the other account can be set to forward your messages to the Hotmail address. Go to their respective web sites, login to your email accounts there and look for filters or rules or similar.
Redirect is an excellent tool but it's designed for a slightly different scenario where you might recieve messages sent to you but perhaps would be more appropriately handled by someone else, perhaps a colleague in a different department. It allows you to pass the messages along as if they had been addressed to that colleague. But it is intended to be used by hand and can't do the job automatically.
You could get Thunderbird to move messages between accounts (or indeed forward them via email) by use of Message Filters, but like Redirect, this only works while Thunderbird is running, whereas getting the email provider to do it is 24/7 and faster and more efficient.
