Maybe you have a Yahoo account for email, a Google account for calendar appointments, or an Outlook account for contacts. Here’s how to add them all to Windows for easy access.
Whether you use a local account or a Microsoft Account to sign into Windows 10 or 11, you may have other accounts that you use for specific apps. Perhaps you have a Yahoo account for email, a Google account for events and appointments, or an Outlook account for contacts. You could have another Microsoft account to run certain Microsoft apps and services. And you might even have a separate work or school account. You can add all your accounts directly to Windows 10 and Windows 11 to access all of them in one convenient location. The process works the same in both versions of Windows. Here’s how. Link Email Account Let’s say you want to add an email account so you can easily access messages sent to that address. In Windows 10 or 11, go to Settings > Accounts > Email & accounts. Click Add account. Microsoft allows you to link accounts for Outlook, Office 365, Google, Yahoo, and iCloud. You can also choose a different account that uses POP or IMAP to receive email. Click the service you want to add, enter the username and password for the account, then confirm the decision. Windows will show you what information the Windows Mail and Calendar apps need to access, such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. Click the Agree button to grant the necessary permissions. You may receive a notice asking if you want Windows to remember the sign-in name and password for this account so you don’t have to remember it yourself or enter it again. Click Yes if you want to save your login information and then click Done. The account you added appears in the list of ones used for email, calendar, and contacts. Add POP or IMAP Account If you need to add an account that’s not listed, click the Other account POP, IMAP entry.
