Fathers Hotmail Account.

[MartinBev58]

My father passed away early in December and I am looking at his incoming messages about once a week as they are getting less and less frequent.
Suddenly a message came which should have had more urgent attention.
Is there any way I can set his account so the sender will get a message saying Dad is not available and asking them to contact me or can I have his messages diverted to my account.
At some point I might start looking at his mesages say every 2 weeks and later on 4.

Why not just forward all mails to you?.... while in the inbox select options (top right of the page) then select more option, look for the email forwarding option and simply forward all emails to another (your) address.

Sorry to hear about your father BTW.

Oppp.... must not scan read question... that was one of the things you asked.

Can't you just send same email to everyone saying he has passed away? I presume you have told Bank and bills ect?

Hi Mrs Weasley

I probably know my father better than most son's / daughter's as we lived in the same house. I have e mailed everyone on his contact list, informed the bank etc and friends I am aware of.

It is strange the number of work friends / other friends who have tried to contact him by phone / e mail him just after he passed away and non of them knew he had died and they would have liked to come to his funeral.

I have also found an address book after his funeral with several names / phone numbers I do not recognise.
I am gradually trying to contact these people but in many cases I am getting a non obtainable tone when I dial the numbers.

I have put a message on his mobile phone asking people to contact me as well.

It would be good if people keep their contact lists up to date but a son / daughter can not really go to their mother / father and say lets have a list of your contacts in case you die.
