How to set up your mail account on Windows 10

Windows itself doesn't create an email account for you - so you set up an existing account on your computer instead. You can create an email account for free at various providers such as Google, Web.de or Yahoo.To use the email account under Windows 10 quickly and easily, proceed as follows:

1. First, right-click the Windows button at the bottom left of your computer.
2. Then select "Settings".
3. Then click on the "Accounts" menu.
4. Here you choose "Email & App Accounts" on the left.
5. Now click on "Add Account" in the upper "Email, Calendar and Contacts" area.
6. Select your provider. If you want to add a POP or IMAP account, click "Advanced Setup" at the very bottom of the list.
7. Now enter your email address or even your phone number, depending on your provider.
8. After that, enter the password you use for your email account.
9. Sie müssen außerdem zustimmen, dass Sie über Windows auf all Ihre E-Mail-Daten zugreifen können.
10. Abschließend wird Ihr Windows mit Ihrem E-Mail-Account verknüpft und Sie haben den Dienst fertig eingerichtet.
