Procedure for using Outlook.com for POP Email Accounts
Step 1
If we want to add a POP account in Windows 8, then login our outlook.com account and click options and select "More mail settings".
Step 2
When the Options window opens click "Your Email Accounts" under "Managing Your Account".
Step 3
After that click the "Add a Send-and-Receive Account" button from the "Add an Email Account" window.
Step 4
Enter your address and password from your ISP then click "Advanced Options".
Step 5
Enter your POP server address and configure the correct Port number and whether to use SSL or not. We might need to contact our ISP to get these details.
Step 6
After the new account is added, create a new folder for it or just have the messages sent to our inbox.
Step 7
Now, all we need to do is to add the Outlook.com address to the Mail app.
