How to add a POP email account in Outlook on iOS and Android. If you decide to add a POP email account to your iOS or Android device so you can have your email locally on the device, we will show you how to use Outlook.com to do this.
Add email accounts to Outlook.com
To do this, you need a Microsoft email account, for example outlook.com, live.com o hotmail.com. If you don't have one,.
Go to and sign in with your Microsoft account. If you have an Office 365 subscription, it is best to use the email address associated with the subscription. This way, you get the premium version of Outlook.com which is ad-free and offers advanced security features.
To make your POP email account available in Outlook for iOS or Android, you need to add it as a linked account in Outlook.com. Then, Outlook will see the connected account and allow you to add it.
In Outlook.com, click the icon Settings (gear) in the upper right corner of the window. Then, click View all Outlook settings .

Then, enter the address e -mail and Password for the email account you want to link to your Outlook.com account.

In another browser tab, go to your email provider's account security page and create an app password for Outlook.com. Then, go back to the Outlook.com tab and enter your app password in the box Password in the dialog box Connect your account.
If you want to keep the email for the linked account separately from the Microsoft account emails, select Create a new folder for the imported email, with subfolders such as the account you are connecting . The other option will combine all emails from both accounts.
If you are adding an email address that is not from a common or well-known email provider, you will probably need to manually enter the POP settings. Check the box Manually configure your account settings Click OK .
In Choose the type of connection , select the POP / SMTP connection settings .
Enter the server and port information in entry and take the exit (uscita) . You can get this information from your provider if you don't already have it.
If you don't want people to see your Outlook.com address (or other Microsoft email address) when you send an email using the connected account on Outlook.com, select Send e-mails using your provider's server . Click OK .
On the screen synchronization email , do click su Save if you have made any other changes to the settings. Then, click the button Close ( X ).
