Hi i have a new surface RT and managed to set up my Hotmail account without any issues, i now need to set up my work emails on the device but I'm experiencing issues, the emails we use is a POP3 account which i know isnt support so i checked with the email provider and they have given me info for setting them up as an IMAP, I've tried this and each time i get a message telling me that to use this particular account i need to set up a digital certificate on the device, however reading through the forum's here it appears that a digital certificate is used on an exchange server which i dont have? As you can tell I'm not technical so can anybody tell me how to set up my accounts please, i leave the UK in a couple of days time and desperately need to get this sorted.

thanks in advance.

Please see: Set up and use Mail

I''d already read though this before adking the question here but it's not answering my question.

Hi,

What error message was received when adding the account?

Meanwhile, you can check this KB:

How to configure an Exchange account and how to troubleshoot Exchange account connectivity issues in the Mail app in Windows 8 and Windows RT
