How to add your outlook email to the mail app on your iPhone
Some people prefer to have all their email accounts all in one app on their mobile devices (Specifically iPhones) as it is more convenient for them then using 2 different email apps and they might miss emails. This is understandable and luckily, we have the choice to do this:
