Sylence Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Yes it's possible! first go to Outlook.com and create your account from the web browser on your computer. then download the app from google play on your phone and login to it with the email and password you created your account with.

Administrator DKT27 Posted October 31, 2016 Administrator Share Posted October 31, 2016 I must mention, originally when it Outlook app was Hotmail app, it has high battery usage issues. Recently I read somewhere that this problem still exist in the Outlook app. This is the reason I still refuse to use it. I must say, those not aware, you can use Gmail app for your Hotmail / Outlook account too. I prefer another app that does not require the phone sync to be turned on for push mail though.

VileTouch Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 the gmail app also supports outlook the built in "mail" exchange app do as well, but that one is very wonky. no need to have a gmail app AND an outlook app, if either one can access both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
