Windows 10: Set up mail - here's how

Windows 10 provides you with its own mail app that you can use to manage all your email accounts. However, before using the Mail app for the first time, you need to set it up by adding an email account.

Set up: How to use the mail account in Windows 10

Windows 10 has its own mail client that allows you to check not only the emails from your Outlook account, but also from other email accounts. To set up the mail app, please open the Start menu and select "Mail" from the program list.

1. When you open the mail client for the first time, you will be prompted to add a new email account. If you have already logged in with your Outlook account before, it will already be displayed under "Accounts".
2. If this is not the case or if you want to add another email account, click on "Add account" under "Accounts" and select the email provider.
3. Then enter your email address and the associated password and specify under which name your messages should be sent.
4. Now click on "Log in" and "Done" to complete the setup.
