Windows 8 101: Connecting email accounts in the Mail app

After connecting your Microsoft account to Windows 8, you may now start to connect some more accounts like your Gmail or Yahoo account.  The mail app is just basic email app not much advance like your Outlook but what I love with this app is that it consolidates all my mail accounts in just one place.  I wont even open a browser to log in to my email service to check my mails.  Just connect your accounts and your done.  Here’s how,

• Open your Mail app by clicking or tapping on it
• On your Settings charm click on Accounts, here you can see your connected accounts

• Click on Add an account and choose which email service you want to add.  You may also add other email account that is not in the list as long as you know your email settings and configuration.  Right now the mail app only support EAS (Exchange Active Sync) and IMAP
