The Mail app in Windows 11 is a clean, easy-to-access email interface. However, by default, it's just linked to the Microsoft account used to log in to your Windows computer. Thankfully, if you're more active with your Google Gmail account, you can easily add that to the Windows 11 Mail app for quick access.
Now let's walk through the steps to add your Gmail account to the Windows 11 Mail app.
Step 1. Launch the Mail app on your Windows 11 computer. You'll land on the Mail home screen.
Step 2. Tap "Accounts" in the menu on the left side of the screen. A Manage Accounts window pops up on the right side of the screen.
Step 3. Tap "Add Account" in this menu. The Add An Account window pops up.
Step 4. Tap "Google" in the list presented in the pop-up. A Sign-in window is shown.
Step 5. Enter the email address associated with the Google Gmail account you want to add to the Windows 11 Mail app, and then enter the password associated with that account. A new window is displayed, letting you know what your Windows account will have access to in your Google account.
Step 6. Review this information, and then tap "Allow" if you want to move forward. A window appears letting you know that you've successfully linked your Google Gmail account to your Windows account.
Step 7. Tap "Done." You'll be routed back to the Windows 11 Mail app where you'll now see your Gmail account has been added to the list of accounts in the menu on the left side of the screen. You can click your Gmail account to see the emails associated with that inbox presented on the right side of the screen.
