Set Up Email on Windows Phone

The process of adding a new email account is simple. On your phone go to Settings > System > Email+Accounts. Then in the Add an Account screen select the email service you’re setting up.

Here I’m using Outlook.com, but the process is virtually the same setting up the others. You’ll need to enter in the email address and sign in with your account password.

After you account is se up and verified, you can go in to its settings and manage how often it checks for email, set up a custom signature, and the type of content you want to sync to the phone.

Set Up a Social Account on Windows Phone

Setting up a social account like LinkedIn or Facebook is essentially the same. Just select the account you want to add from the “Add an Account” screen and enter in the email and password you use to sign in. You’ll also need to allow your Microsoft account to connect with the social service.

After you have your email and social networks set up, on of the neat things Windows Phone offers is the Me tile. The Me tile is part of the default set of tiles on Windows Phone 8. It allows you to check and post updates on Facebook and other social networks you’ve set up.
