How to Add Email Accounts to Windows Live Mail

Add new accounts through the interface.

Manual Server Settings

Select Manually configure server settings and click Next to add an account that’s not recognized. Add the information to connect to the email servers. After you enter those settings, Windows Live should be able to fetch the emails without a problem.

Add an Account to Windows Mail

On Windows 10, use the Windows Mail app. In addition, if you use your Microsoft account to sign in to your computer, that email address is already set up in the Mail app. Accessing the Mail app and adding additional email accounts to it is simple.

Supported Email Providers

As with most applications, there are some limitations to the types of servers and email providers that are supported. Windows Live Mail can support most webmail providers including Outlook.com, Gmail, and Yahoo! Mail.
