Surface Mail App


The first time you start the Mail App:

  • If you have signed in to Surface with a Microsoft account, your mail account is already set up. You can then add other accounts, from Outlook, Gmail, AOL, Yahoo!, and even your work email (Exchange ActiveSync).
  • If you have signed in to Surface with a local account, your mail account is not yet set up. You’ll need to get a Microsoft account, and then use the email address from your Microsoft account to begin using the Mail app on your Surface. After that first mail account has been established, you can add other accounts as well.


To add an email account:


On the Start screen, tap Mail.

Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and tap Settings.

Tap Accounts.

Tap Add an account, choose the type of account you want to add, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Properly configured Office 365 accounts can be added with only your Office 365 email address and password.

If you have any issues at this point, contact us via emailing support@intellicore.com


After you add an email account:

  • Contacts from your Office 365 account appear in the People App.
  • Appointments appear in the Calendar App.

 

Note

The most recent version of the Mail app does have an issue with Google calendar.  It may not sync with the Calendar app.

However, there’s a workaround. For more info, see How to see your Google events in the Calendar app
