Configuring Virgin.net

- In the top right, tap your profile picture.
- 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.

Settings Needed for Receiving Mail
- Select the type of e-mail account (POP3 or IMAP) you will use. Some services may not provide both options. Refer to the information below for possible protocols.

- Please see the table below to complete the Incoming Server Settings.
