We have just seen the recent over hall of Microsoft’s Hotmail and Live accounts to Outlook.com and with the rebranded email service comes a brilliant new app for allowing iPhone and iPad users to manage their accounts. All you are required to do in order to use the service is sign up to outlook.com and get your free ID, then read the guide below to learn how to set up Outlook email on iPhone & iPad.

Step 5. Now you will have to enter your new Outlook ID (ie. iheartkindred@outlook.com) and password.
