The Mail app is the simple way to have all your email under one roof. The key is to sign in to your PC with your Microsoft account. You can create one using an email address you already have, or sign up for a new one—it’s free.
If other people also use your PC, make sure each person signs in to the PC with their own Microsoft account. That way, each person will only see their own mail.
If you’ve used Microsoft services in the past like Xbox, Hotmail, OneDrive, Messenger, Skype, or Windows Phone, you already have a Microsoft account—it’s the email address you use to sign in. You might have used that Microsoft account when you set up your computer, so you might already be signed in with it. But if you’re not sure, here's how to check.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
Tap or click Accounts, and then tap or click Your account.
If you're already signed in with a Microsoft account, your screen should look like this. You’re all set!
If you're signed in with a local account, your screen should look like this. Tap or clickConnect to a Microsoft account and follow the instructions.
If the email address for your Microsoft account ends in outlook.com, live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com, just sign in to your PC. Go to the Start screen, and open the Mail app—your email is waiting for you.
If your email address ends in a different domain, like gmail.com, yahoo.com, or comcast.net, here's how to add it.
On the Start screen, tap or click Mail.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Settings.)
Tap or click Accounts, tap or click Add an account, and then tap or click the type of account you'd like to add.
Enter your email address and password for the account, and then tap or click Connect.
