Answer 2

To add or delete email accounts in new Outlook for Windows, use the Accounts settings.

Add a new email account in new Outlook

1. In Outlook, on the View tab select View settings, or on the File tab select Account info.
2. Select Accounts > Your accounts.
3. Under Email accounts, select Add Account.
4. Either choose a suggested account from the dropdown or type the email address to add, then select Continue.
5. If prompted, enter the account password and complete any sign-in or two-factor authentication steps.
6. When setup completes, select Done and the new account’s folders (including Inbox) will appear in Outlook.

Delete (remove) an email account in new Outlook

1. On the View tab select View settings, or on the File tab select Account info.
2. Select Accounts > Your accounts.
3. In the Email accounts section, find the account to remove and select Manage next to it.
4. Under Account details, select Remove.
5. For non-Microsoft accounts (such as Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, IMAP/POP), choose whether to remove the account from just this device or from all devices where it is added in Outlook.
6. When finished, select Return to accounts page or close the Settings window.

Note: Removing an account from Outlook only removes it from the app and deletes its offline cached content on that device; it does not delete the email account itself. To delete the account entirely, use the email provider’s site or tools.
