Accounts and Messaging
With Sprint service and your phone’s messaging capabilities, you have the opportunity to share
information through many different channels and accounts.
When you set up an email account on your phone, you also get other things like contacts,
calendars, tasks, depending on the account. You can add as many accounts as you like, but it’s
important to pay attention to the Microsoft email account you set up first.
Note: To access contacts from Outlook on your PC, you may need to import them to a
Microsoft account or other online account before synchronizing them with your phone.
Set Up the First Microsoft Account
If you use Hotmail, Outlook.com, or Live.com for email, your email account is also a Microsoft
account (formerly Windows Live ID). The first Microsoft account you add to your phone will be
the one you use to get apps, get your Xbox gamerscore and avatar, play Xbox Music, chat with
Messenger, and do any of the other things on your phone that require a Microsoft account.
So, if you use a different email address to do any of those, you'll probably want to sign in with
that one first, and then add your primary email account later.

If you set up any other Hotmail, Live.com, or Outlook.com accounts on your phone,
photos in those accounts won't be synced to your phone, and you won't be able to use
those accounts to play Xbox games or use Xbox Music.
