Add your other email accounts to Microsoft Networks (Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, Live.com, MSN.com)

Would you like to send and receive mail from one place rather than logging in to three or more separate email sites? Well, you can!

Outlook.com enables you to connect up to five other email accounts and view them from your Outlook.com Inbox. Please note that Microsoft Networks, includes: Hotmail.com, Outlook.com, MSN.com and LIVE.com and the instructions below apply to all the networks.. Each account is listed as a folder in your folder pane so you can switch between them without ever leaving Outlook.com.

Add email accounts to Outlook.com

  1. Sign in to Outlook.com.

  2. On the navigation bar, select Settings: update your profile, install software and connect it to the cloud > Options.

    Click Settings > Options

  3. In the left pane, choose Mail > Accounts > Connected accounts.

    Connected Accounts

    Note: Not all features are available in every region. If you don't see the Connected accounts option, this feature might not be available for your account.

  4. Choose Other email accounts.

  5. On the Connect your email account page, enter your full email address, such as email@your-doamin-name.com, and the password of the email account you want to connect to Outlook.com.

    Enter the email address and password of the account you want to connect.

  6. Choose OK.

    Important: If you get a message that Outlook couldn't connect to the server for your other account, choose Back and make sure you entered the correct email address and password for your account. Typos are really common!
    If a problem occurs that prevents you to automatically connect, click on the IMAP Setting options to manually configure the settings for your connected account.

    If you get this page, choose Back to doublecheck your email address and password.
