Sync open mails in mac - new program

The functionality you are looking for is not provided by *any* mail clients. It sounds like you're using POP3. Don't. Use IMAP or ActiveSync instead; it does what you're trying to accomplish. If you are using Hotmail as your primary address, I doubt it supports IMAP and, IIRC, Microsoft has only enabled ActiveSync for mobile devices so you may be SOL unless you switch providers.
 
okey

well thats a shame. yeah, i have gmail aswell, but can't get rid of my microsoft hotmail..

exactly its pop3.. thought it was possibly in some way, got my hopes up with the program i found :p

wellwell, nothing to do about it then :(

I set up my IMAP account to log in the POP3 account and grab any mail there. Then I use the IMAP account to keep everything synced.

I don't use gmail (don't like their snooping and privacy thing), so I dunno if it provides that capability. You may be able to go into hotmail and just forward everything.

Gmail can do it, I have it setup to grab mail from my POP3 e-mail by my ISP.

OP, you simply need to setup your gmail as IMAP and have it grab hotmail's e-mails.
