How to add your outlook email to the mail app on your iPhone

Some people prefer to have all their email accounts all in one app on their mobile devices (Specifically iPhones) as it is more convenient for them then using 2 different email apps and they might miss emails. This is understandable and luckily, we have the choice to do this:

1. Go to Settings

2. Password and Accounts:

3. Then Add account:

You then have to pick the type of account it is. If you pick other, you can then pick add mail account and add your mail account this way. This is the screen that comes up when you pick Add Account:

You have the choice to synchronise your contacts, calendars, mail, reminders and notes. Whatever you don’t want to sync you can turn off. After saving these settings your outlook email should be added to the mail app!
