Installing emails services like Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail are quite easy on windows mail app because all the incoming server and outgoing server settings required for sending and receiving the mail are pre-configured in your mail app. On the other hand, if you are going to install a 3rd party email app like Roadrunner, then it is bit tedious project. Don’t worry, we are going to discuss the steps to install POP3 email account on windows 10 email app.
