Introduction
In this article we explain how to use POP email with Windows 8 mail using Outlook.com. A POP3 mail server isn't allowed in Windows 8 mail. If we want to add a POP3 email account from our ISP, then we're out of luck. Here's a workaround for the problem using Outlook.com.
Procedure for usiing Outlook.com for POP Email Accounts
Step 1
If we want to add a POP account in Windows 8, then login our outlook.com account and click options and select "more mail settings".

Step 5
Enter in your POP server address and configure the correct Port number and whether to use SSL or not. We might need to contact our ISP to get these details.
