We had covered in detail, how to migrate to Outlook.com and get your new email address at outlook.com. Today, Microsoft has released the Outlook.com app for Android phones. This app allows you to connect with your existing Outlook.com or Hotmail account and retrieve emails.
This official Microsoft Outlook.com app gives you easy access to Outlook.com so you never miss an email. You can send and receive emails in your Outlook.com account on the go from your Android device. The app does not require any configuration, just enter the Outlook.com (or Hotmail) login details and the app will configure it.
