The Mail app only supports IMAP and EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) email accounts, and doesn't support email accounts that use POP (Post Office Protocol). To get these accounts in Mail, see Using email accounts over POP on Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1.

The email account for your Microsoft account will be added automatically to Mail, but any other IMAP and EAS email account will need to be manually added.
