The Mail app for Windows 10 includes all the basic features that most users will need to manage emails on a daily basis. The app supports all the popular services, such as Outlook, Exchange, Yahoo, Gmail, iCloud, and other services using custom POP and IMAP configuration.

 

Here’s how to set up an email account in the app:

– Click the Start button. When the Start menu appears, click the Mail app. You can also open the app by clicking on the icon on the Taskbar.

When you first open the Mail app, it prompts you to add your email account or accounts. If you signed up with a Microsoft account, that email address is already listed and set up.

However, you can also enter email accounts from services such as Google, Hotmail, Outlook, Yahoo!, and others.
To add other accounts, click the Add Account button. Mail then lists the accounts you can add: Exchange (used mostly by businesses or people using the Office 365 online programs), Google, iCloud (for Apple), Other Account (which means accounts using POP or IMAP for access), or Advanced Setup, which lets you set up Exchange ActiveSync or web-based email.

To add a Google account, for example, click on the Google option. Windows takes you to a secure area on Google’s website, where you can authorize the process by entering your Gmail email address and password and then clicking Accept or Connect.

To add new e-mail accounts from within the Mail app, open the app, then click the Settings (gear) icon and choose Manage Accounts from the Settings pane, then click Add Account.

Repeat these steps for any of your other email accounts.

If for some reason your email account(s) fails to automatically setup, you will need to configure the email accounts manually using the incoming and outgoing mail server settings of that particular email provider. For work/school email accounts, contact your IT administrator for the mail server settings.
