New Account Connection
Applies to: Office 365 for professionals and small businesses, Office 365 for enterprises, Live@edu
Use the New Account Connection dialog box to connect a Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, or Gmail account to your cloud-based account. After a connection is created, you can use Outlook Web App to send e-mail from the e-mail address of the other account and see e-mail sent to the other account. If you're connecting to an account other than a Hotmail account, make sure you've turned on POP or IMAP access from the account before you create the connection. When connecting, your e-mail will automatically try to log on to the other account to download messages. To connect from Outlook Web App, click Options > Account, and then click New under Connected Accounts.

What else do I need to know?
