Link non-Microsoft email accounts to your existing Microsoft subscription

Applies To
New Outlook for Windows

If you use a non-Microsoft, third-party account like Gmail, Yahoo, or iCloud in new Outlook, and have an Microsoft 365 subscription on a Microsoft account with the same email identity, you can now access subscription features in Outlook (including Copilot*) by linking these accounts.  

Steps to link accounts in new Outlook

  1. On the View tab, select View settings, or from the File tab, select Account info.
  2. Select Accounts > Your accounts.
  3. Choose your account and select Manage.
  4. Select Add Account.

    Note

    You will only get this option if you have a Microsoft 365 subscription with the same email identity as your third-party email account.

* Copilot capabilities are available for Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, and Premium subscriptions.
