Figure 10-1: The Mail app lets you enter e-mail accounts from Google, Hotmail, Outlook, and Exchange.

To add a Google account, for example, click the word Google. Windows 8 takes you to a secure area on Google’s website where you can authorize the transaction by entering your Gmail e-mail address and password and then clicking Connect.

Repeat these steps for other listed accounts, authorizing each of them to share information with your Windows account.

I explain how to add e-mail addresses besides Hotmail, Outlook, and Google in this chapter’s “Adding other e-mail accounts to Mail” sidebar.

3. Return to the Start screen, click the People tile, and enter your other accounts.

Now’s your chance to tell Windows about your friends: Click the People tile on the Start screen. When it appears, you may spot friends listed in the address books associated with the e-mail accounts you entered in Step 1.

Continue adding contacts by entering your usernames and passwords from accounts from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and others.

For example, choose Facebook, click Connect, and a window appears (shown in Figure 10-2) for you to enter your Facebook name and password.
