The Windows 8 Mail e-mail app has a nice, clean interface and works with a variety of e-mail accounts, including Gmail and Yahoo! Mail. Here's how to add them to Windows 8 Mail:
Step 1: Make sure you're logged in to Mail with a Microsoft account. If you're using a local account to log in to Windows 8, you'll need to log in to Mail with a Microsoft account before you can add other e-mail accounts.
Step 2: From within Mail, use the Win+I shortcut to quickly get to Mail settings, then click on Accounts.
Step 3: Click on Add an account, then choose the e-mail provider you want to add.
