Note: This includes international domains such as @outlook.co.uk or any custom domains hosted on Outlook.com.
Note: If you don't see Outlook.com or an Outlook option, it just means that you haven't yet signed in with a Microsoft account on your phone. To do that, see Set up the first Microsoft account on your phone.
