Microsoft researched a lot about how people use email and email apps, before building the Windows Mail App. It realized, users today have multiple email accounts and receive more and more email each year. Therefore, an app that aggregates multiple email accounts, should provide an easy way out to the users. Hence, Windows 10 Mail App!

Although Windows Mail App aggregates multiple email accounts, it not clearly shown how to add multiple accounts to it. We have already seen some free email clients. In this post, we will let you know how to go about it. No need of  POP or IMAP settings – all you require is your login credentials!

Set up Windows 10 Mail App

To begin with, from your Start, click open the Mail app.

You will get a notification ‘You aren’t signed with a Microsoft account. To use mail, sign in with a Microsoft account and try again’.

Enter your credentials here and sign in with your Microsoft account.
