Step-by-Step
In order to use the Mail application found on your Windows computer or mobile device, you must have a Microsoft Account (hotmail, live, msn, etc.). Creating a Microsoft account may change the way you log in to your device.

- Sign in to your device using your Microsoft Account.
- Open the Mail application.
- Bring up the Start bar by swiping in from the right, or hovering the mouse cursor in the very lower right corner of your screen.
- Click Settings.
- Click Accounts.
- Click Add an Account.
- Click Exchange.
- Click Show more details.
- FIll in the text boxes as described below:
- Email address: Use your full Dartmouth email address (e.g. john.a.doe.18@dartmouth.edu).
- Server address: outlook.office365.com
- Domain: Leave this field blank.
- User Name: Your user name will be in the form of: <your netid>@dartmouth.edu .
- Password: Enter the password that you use to access your Dartmouth email.
- Click Connect.

Note: By default, the Mail application will only download those messages that you have received during the past month. If you want additional email, you will need to make changes to your settings.
