Mail
The Mail app organizes your inbox and offers quick views of your favorite people,
flagged messages, folders, newsletters, and social updates.
Here are some tips to get you started. For more info, see Set up and use Mail on Surface.com and
the Mail app tutorial on Windows.com.
If you’ve 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).
After you add an email account, contacts from your email account appear in the People app and
appointments appear in the Calendar app.
Here’s how to add accounts:
1. Go to Start , and open the Mail app.
2. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen (or, with a mouse, point to the upper-right
corner of the screen), and select Settings.
3. Select Accounts > Add an account, choose the type of account you want to add, and
follow the on-screen instructions.
The Mail app has three panes:
The left pane shows you your email folders and accounts (in the lower-left corner). Select a
folder or account to switch to it.
The middle pane shows you messages for the selected email account.
The right pane is the reading pane. It shows you the content of the selected email message.
People
The People app is more than just an address book. The People app keeps you up to
date with your social networks and helps you stay in touch.
When you connect your accounts like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, you’ll get all the latest
updates, tweets, and pictures, in one place. Comment on an update or retweet a tweet without
switching apps. Here's how to add people from your existing contact lists and address books:
1. Sign in with your Microsoft account.
2. Go to Start , and open the People app.
3. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen (or, with a mouse, point to the upper-right
corner of the screen), and select Settings.
4. Select Accounts > Add an account, select the email or social networking account you want
to add, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
