A message sent via the contact form on my website goes to a web based email thingy hosted by godaddy.com - I have a link to this bookmarked but I rarely check it as I have yet to focus on the finishing touches of my site and get traffic there.

Because I rarely check it, if anybody did contact me via the website it could be a week before I log on to check and it would be far better to have a notification in my Hotmail inbox that there is a new message in my godaddy inbox - i.e. a business email sent to my business email address which is not the same as my Hotmail address.

Even better if I can actually read the message in my Hotmail.

I have scrutinized the godaddy site on how to do this but with no joy, and my Hotmail account settings have an option to change or update an alternate email address but this has made no difference.

I'm due to update my business cards soon and I'd like to keep my professional looking email address instead of having my Hotmail address on the card or writing it on the back all the time.

Advice warmly appreciated.

I believe that you could use an email client like Outlook Express to get (and respond to) your <ShoeBoat.Com> domain's email. Get the POP3 settings from GoDaddy, then somewhat easier than logging in and looking at the web based email.

This article on the GoDaddy site talks about email forwarding.

If you go into your email control center on godaddy, click on the email address you want forwarded, go down to Forward Carbon Copy and put whatever address you want. You can find client based (Outlook, T-bird) instructions here http://help.godaddy.com/topic/167 that way you don't need to forward anything, you just get your domain mail in your client.
