I let you know that Mail preview is having support for e-mail services which are using Exchange ActiveSync including Hotmail and Gmail. So far it is not having support for POP or IMAP. It is not using EAS.

If you wanted to add an account on Mail app then you can perform a below mentioned steps.
- You have to use Charm bar in order to add account. You can simply add an account by pressing WinKey + I from the keyboard at the time of viewing the mail app.
- You have to click on Accounts and then go for Add an account on the Charm bar.

Yes I do agree that you will be able to connect with Hotmail, Gmail and Exchange accounts but you won’t get support for POP and iMap as Windows 8 is of beta version. The Mail app introduced in windows 8 is based on Windows Live Mail.
However you can install Live Mail on windows 8 based computer.

People who are looking to have POP email accounts on Windows 8 mail app should perform bewlo mentioned thing.
You have to go for Hotmail/Live mail account which is working on new Mail app and click on Options and under that click on More Options.
Here you have to enable Hotmail/Live mail account in order to access POP account from the list.
You should check and confirm your account using a verification email which has been sent to POP account of yours.
Once you have done you will receive all the emails from that account to Hotmail/Live mail account.
