The Nokia Lumia 530 is the entry-level budget smartphone in the Windows Phone 8.1 family. With its low price for many people it is their first smartphone offering everything from social media access to email and messaging. Setting up your email account is incredibly easy but if you’re new to Windows Phone 8.1 there are a few things you’ll need to know. Find out how to set up email on your Nokia Lumia 530 – it’s easier than you think.
The death of email has been greatly exaggerated in the UK press of late, with students in particular stating they’d rather use social media networks for being contacted and kept informed. However, for most of us email and its private nature remains one of those features we’ve come to take as a natural part of our daily lives.
Setting it up on your Nokia Lumia 530 is one of the first tasks you’ll want to do and it’s incredibly easy. It doesn’t matter if you have an Outlook, Google, Yahoo, or some other email account, it all follows a similar pattern.
How to set up email on Nokia Lumia 530
Swipe down on the screen and the Action Centre will open. Tap on the All settings icon and choose Email+Accounts from the list. You will then see a full list of the default accounts that you can add to your Nokia Lumia 530 – everything from Outlook and Hotmail, through to third-party clients such as Yahoo and Google Mail.
All you need do is tap the option you’d like to add and follow the onscreen instructions. Windows Phone 8.1 takes the stress and hassle out of having to set up an account as all you’ll need to do with most email accounts is add your email name and the password, the software will do the rest.
Once you’ve entered your details all you need do is tap the ‘Sign In’ button at the bottom of the screen and Windows Phone will complete your email setup.
You’ll find your email account is added as a Live Tile to the Start screen of your Nokia Lumia 530. However, it will use the generic account name, such as Google. If you want to make it a little more personal, open the app, choose Settings>Sync Settings and change the Account Name.
Once done tap the tick on the bottom of the screen and you’ll see the Live Tile now has a new name on the Start screen.
The great thing about Windows Phone 8.1 is, once you’ve set up email is that you’ll be able to see all your messages at a glance using the Notifications options in the new Action Centre. To do this just swipe down from the top of the screen and the centre will open and you’ll see all your messages, regardless of how many email accounts you have set up.
