Mail and

Outlook.com

The Mail, People, Calendar, and Messag-

ing apps share account information. That

means that if you enter your Gmail email

account to add contacts to the People app,

you will also be able to access the Gmail

account in the Mail app. Of course, not all

account information is shared across all

apps. For example, the Messaging app

doesn’t access Gmail accounts, so you can’t

use the Messaging app on the tablet to

have IM conversations with Gmail contacts.

It can be a bit confusing, but the chapter for

each app specifies supported accounts.

By visiting Outlook.com in a web browser,

you can access information that allows

youto do more with People, Mail, Cal-

endar, Messaging, and SkyDrive. This

chapter focuses on the Mail app and how

it, alongwith People and Calendar, uses

Outlook.com to do more on the tablet.
