phone.
Add your first mailbox
To set up mail in your phone, you must be connected to the internet.
If you didn't sign in to your Microsoft account during the first start-up, you can do it now. When you

add a Microsoft account to your phone, a mail account is added automatically.
1. Tap .

2. Tap an account, and write your username and password.

3. Tap sign in.

Tip: Depending on your mail account, you can also sync other items than just mails to your

phone, such as your contacts and calendar.

If your phone doesn't find your mail settings, advanced setup can find them. For this, you need to

know your mail account type and the addresses of your incoming and outgoing mail servers. You can

get this info from your mail service provider.
To find out more about setting up different mail accounts, see the How-to section at

your account, write your work mail address and password, and tap sign in.
