How to Set up a Company Email Account on a Microsoft Surface Pro

Whether your company uses a Web-based email service or has its own mail server, you can set up your company email account on the Microsoft Surface Pro through the device’s Mail app. You need your company email log-in credentials as well as specific information about the email server -- such as the Outgoing email server address -- to complete the setup process. The Mail app has the standard features that you would expect to find in the average email client, such as new email notifications and support for attachments.

Tap the "Mail" icon on the Surface's Start screen to open the Mail app.

Swipe from the right edge of the device's screen toward the middle, and then tap the "Settings" icon.

Tap "Accounts," and then tap "Add an Account."

Tap the "Other Accounts" option, and then enter your company email address and password in the appropriate fields.

Tap "Show More Details." Enter your company email address in the Username field.

Enter the Incoming and Outgoing email server addresses as well as the associated Port numbers in the appropriate fields.

Select all of the relevant check boxes, such as the "Incoming Server Requires SSL" and "Outgoing Server Requires Authentication" check boxes.

Tap the "Connect" button to complete the email setup process.
