Sometimes you may need to add another email account into Outlook, such as a secondary mailbox (not a shared mailbox) or a non-Microsoft service. This guide covers how to do this in the new Outlook for Windows application. (It does not apply to the ‘Classic’ version.)
Step 1 – Open the Settings Menu
In Outlook, go to the View tab and select View settings.
Step 2 – Go to Email Accounts
From the Settings window, choose Accounts > Email accounts.
Step 3 – Add the New Account
Under Email accounts, click Add account.
Either pick from one of the suggested accounts, or type in the email address you want to add.
Click Continue.
If prompted, enter the password for that account.
Select Done to finish setup.
⚠️ Some providers (such as Gmail, Yahoo, or iCloud) may require you to first adjust their own settings before you can connect them to Outlook.
Step 4 – Success!
Your new account is now added to Outlook and ready to use. Depending on the speed of your internet connection, it might take a bit of time for all of your emails to download and become available to view in Outlook.
