Set up 2nd email account

troi

Hi, I would like to set up a 2nd email account to point to my inbox, as you can do with older versions of Outlook. How would I do that?  I don't want to set up a separate profile, just have the 2 accounts point to my inbox, and be able to send messages from both accounts.

 

I have Aspire Switch 10 with Windows 8.1 (I believe it's 8.1).

 

Thanks

If your email address ends in a different domain, like gmail.com, yahoo.com, or comcast.net, here's how to add it.

1. On the Start screen, tap or click Mail.

2. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Settings.
   (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Settings.)

3. Tap or click Accounts, tap or click Add an account, and then tap or click the type of account you'd like to add.

4. Enter your email address and password for the account, and then tap or click Connect.
