How to migrate your old email accounts to Hotmail or Gmail
Summary: Leaving school, or starting a new job? Found that your old email will disappear or be deleted? Fear not, graduates. Here's how to safely move your email.
It's that time of year again when colleges are set to close for the summer break, students will be graduating -- as will I -- and these budding new graduates will be hoping to enter the world of work.

And you may not like either of them.

Some email accounts become 'alumni accounts', which enable you to receive email but alters your address to reflect these changes. Some colleges may even charge a fee to keep your email account running.
Yet some institutions, most of those which have yet to outsource their emails to the cloud, will bump you off the system altogether and you will lose all of your emails of the past three or four years.
