If you have usedWindows phoneyou are familiar with Microsofts Office Mobile productivity suite.
The main advantage is the Mail app interface looks very sleek.
It also takes less time to load.
With lot of controls theOutlook desktop appcreates a bigger learning curve.
you could check your mails using the Mail app of Windows 10.
For this you first need to add your mail account, just you do in Outlook.
But this is very less complicated in Mail, compared to Outlook.
Sometimes, you should probably manually fill many fields to add an email account.
you could use the Active Directory services also to create an Exchange account in Mail.
This is useful in a corporate scenario where Office 365 is used..
Instead of logging into your office website and checking mail, it is much easy to see in Mail.
Also your personal and office mail can be seen on the same screen.
The email setup for different services is almost the same.
But for domain email, you need have yourpop3 port settingsready before you add it.
it’s possible for you to also change account parameters in Mail, by just clicking the mail id.
You need not download Mail app.
It comes pre-installed with Windows 10.
The Exchange account is also used in educational institutes.
For .edu domains generally provide AD services to their students.
Also corporates with .org can do the same.
Then follow the common procedure to click accounts and find your service account.
The Exchange can also have Office 365 installed.
So you’re able to add your exchange account by selecting Outlook from the services provided.
The following details have to be entered.
The domain and server field information is to be obtained from your rig administrator.
Sometimes, the PC support team does all this or provides the info in a corporate office scenario.
The easy thing about this set up is you need not give any POP3 parameters.
But it’s crucial that you provided access to it in your Gmail configs.
Mail app will automatically take all the required information other than the username and password.
It is typically of a domain email setup.
But I didnt face any problem during installation.
It automatically took all the controls and set it up.
You just need to provide the username, password credentials to the Mail app.
When you hit the item in Accounts, it will automatically connect to the Yahoo!
Then a pop-up window will open, where you have to provide the necessary details.
Just like Gmail, sometimes, it’s crucial that you verify your Yahoo!
mail account and accept the permissions Mail app has access.
Fix Error
Sometimes, Mail app is denied access to add the Yahoo!
This is a security feature problem in Yahoo.
For some reason, Yahoo!
think Mail is a less secure app.
So it does not provide access directly.
So you have to open Yahoo!
mail account in online window and go to its Profile options and give access to less secure apps.
Otherwise, you could go for 2-step verification.
You just have to give user credentials and all the other controls are automatically taken care of.
Sometimes this account is also called the Microsoft account.
It will end something like @example.com etc.
For this kind of accounts, you gotta give further information like server parameters.
But the ease is that, it doesnt ask for any port prefs unlike Outlook.
Just be ready with the POP3 tweaks before you enter.
These are available with your website hosting service.
A typical picture will look like the below.
All of it is not required.
The following information has to be given.
The below options are also asked in continuation.
You just need to enable or disable them.
The last two are only if you want to use SSL for mail account access.
Personally I had problem using the last two options in Outlook also.
So I generally use the non-SSL parameters, if the other one doesnt work.
For that, you just need to choose the account name on the left hand side and selectAccount prefs.
Here you’re able to also change the time period of the amount of mail to download.
This is for security purpose.
