Do we get an email account with Micrsosoft 365 subscription?

Question

I have Microsoft 365 personal subscription and 1 TB one drive is included.

Do i also get an email account? If yes, what the storage limit of that email account and how to set up?

Can i connect the outlook email account with my yahoo account and pull all my yahoo emails into this new outlook email account? If yes, how?

Thanks.

Answer 1

There is a difference between Outlook email service and the Outlook 365 app.

Outlook email service is a feature of a Microsoft account. So is Microsoft 365. You can use your Outlook email service with the Outlook 365 app, if you want to, and most people do. But it doesn't have to be that way.

You can, if you want, use a different email service with the Outlook 365 app. You could use the Ourlook 365 app for your Yahoo Mail or your GMail or your Proton mail, to give some examples. But you'll still have your Ourlook email service.

You can use your Ourlook email service online, or your can use it with a different app, like GMail.

Just keep in mind the different between an email service and the app that you use to receive that service. Also keep in mind that anyone who offers an email service will let you use their service online, without any app at all. I use my Outlook and GMail service totally online, without any app.

Microsoft 365 Personal does not automatically create a new Outlook.com email address. Your Microsoft account can use an existing email address, such as Gmail or Yahoo.

If you want an Outlook.com email address, you can create one as an alias for your existing Microsoft account:
https://account.microsoft.com/names/manage

Microsoft 365 Personal includes 100 GB of Outlook.com mailbox storage if you use an Outlook.com mailbox. This is separate from the 1 TB of OneDrive storage included with the subscription.

You can also add your Yahoo account to Outlook to access your Yahoo emails. If you want to actually migrate/copy your existing Yahoo emails into the Outlook.com mailbox, that is a separate process.
