How to add an email account to the mail application in Windows 10

The arrival of Windows 10 last year was a revolution in the user interface of this latest version. Windows 10 offers us part of the graphical interface of Windows 8.x an interface that very few people liked, to say the least, forcing the Redmond-based company to release the 8.1 update where any user could once again enjoy the loved and loved by everyone's desktop for a lifetime.

Windows 10 has inherited the famous tiles in the interface of the start menu, tiles that we can eliminate, but over time by combining the operation of the start menu of all life with these tiles become quite a practical and useful interface at least until we get used to it.

The Mail application allows us to add our usual email account to be able to manage it from the Windows 10 interface, a comfortable and really very practical interface. If we have used a Microsoft account to sign in, this will be configured in the mail application, so that when we run the Mail application it will show us all the messages from the account.

To add a new account from another service we must proceed as follows:

  • We go to the bottom left of the screen where a cogwheel is displayed. We press and we go to the option Manage accounts.

  • Then click on Add account and we select the service where our email is hosted, among which we find Google, Yahoo, iCloud, Outlook.com, Exchange or other POP or IMAP accounts.
  • Then a window of our email provider will open where we must enter our email address and password.
  • In the next step we must allow the application That he has access to our email account, necessary permission if we want to be able to access our emails from the application.
