- Tap Add another account.
- Choose the type of account you want to add:
- If you check work or school emails through Outlook for Windows, select Outlook, Hotmail, and Live.
- If you don't see your email service, select Other.
- Enter your email address and tap Next.
Setup Required for Receiving Mail
- Choose the type of mail account (POP3 or IMAP) you want to use. Not all services provide both! You may want to refer to the table below for possible protocols.

- Please use the table below in order to complete the Incoming Server Settings.
- Click Next. If there is an error, click the Edit Settings button.
