Tips:
- You can add multiple email accounts to Outlook, but you can only have one default account. The default account is the one that will be used when you compose a new email.
- You can switch between email accounts by clicking on the account name in the top right corner of the Outlook window.
- You can also use the "Account" button to manage your email accounts, including setting up automatic account detection, changing account settings, and deleting accounts.
Common email account types:
- POP (Post Office Protocol): allows you to retrieve email from a remote server and store it on your local device.
- IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): allows you to access and manage email on a remote server, and also store a copy of the email on your local device.
- Exchange: a proprietary email protocol used by Microsoft Exchange servers.
