Set up your email
Now let’s set up your email. Outlook RT and Mail are both pre-installed, so you can add your email accounts to
either or both of these apps.
Outlook RT: Add your email accounts
You can add Outlook.com, Gmail, AOL, Yahoo!, and Exchange email accounts to Outlook (or any email account
that uses POP or IMAP). Here’s how:
1. Tap or click Outlook 2013 from the Start screen. Account setup starts the first time you start Outlook.
If the Auto Account Setup dialog doesn’t appear, tap or click File and then choose Add Account (just
above Account Settings ).
2. Type your name, email address, and password, and then choose Next .
Outlook searches online to find your email server settings. If Outlook doesn’t find the settings, see Set up email
in Outlook on Office.com.
Mail: Add your email accounts
You can add Outlook.com, Gmail, AOL, Yahoo!, and Exchange email accounts to the Mail app.
Note The Mail app doesn’t support accounts that use POP (Post Office Protocol). If you have a POP
email account, you can use Outlook RT (see above) or see Using email accounts over POP on
Windows.com.
