How To Add a Second Email Account in Windows 8/8.1

The Mail app in Windows 8/8.1 also allows you to add multiple email accounts. You'll only need one email client to monitor all of your email.

Since every email account and its data is stored on the Microsoft server online, you won't need to make backups. Also, you will be able to get your mail on multiple devices.

In order to add multiple email accounts in the Mail app in Windows 8/Windows 8.1, follow the steps given below:

    ■Log on to the Windows 8/Windows 8.1 computer using the account that you generally use.
    ■From the Start screen, click the Mail tile.
