So I want to make a program that can automatically forward stuff from a hotmail account to another account, and hotmail doesnt support this. Can this be done with python? Anyone know how I would start?

Google 'hotmail pop3', 'python pop3' and 'python smtp'. Go on from there.
Python supports pop3 and smtp out of the box, but you may still run in trouble because the implementation quality of POP3 servers varies widely.

Just make it in VB? (Visual Basic 2008)
It's extremly easy if you just wanna send things from 1 mail to another.

I was going to go into a post about poplib and smtplib in Python as well as the details you need to connect to your hotmail account (pop3.live.com & smtp.live.com, SSH, ports ect.) but you don't really need that, why reinvent the wheel when you can
google it and come up with an app or script that will do it without the hassle of you having to do it yourself? If you've already tried this and found nothing suitable then I'll knock up a Python solution for you.
