Outlook.com
Regarding e-mail addresses Outlook.com, things change slightly compared to what we have just seen for Gmail: although the homonymous app for smartphones and tablets allows you to access multiple e-mail addresses at the same time, this is not true, however, for the Web version of the service. This means that if you are interested in accessing another Outlook.com email via your browser, you will need to log out of your current mailbox and log into the service with your new credentials. Below I'll explain everything in detail.

From this moment on, you can quickly select the mailbox to check by swiping from left to center and tapping on the relative personal image, located on the left side of the management panel.
iCloud
As regards iCloud Mail, the e-mail service made available by Apple, things are as follows: via the Web, it is not possible to access another e-mail without disconnecting from the one currently in use; on the contrary, it is possible to configure multiple iCloud accounts together on smartphones and tablets, both Android and iOS, albeit in different ways. Below I'll explain everything in detail.

To access another iCloud email via computer">computer">computer">computer, you must first connect to the website of the service and wait for the e-mail box to be completely loaded; when that happens, press on yours name located at the top right and, from the menu that appears, choose the item Logout. Finally, choose whether to simply exit or exit and authorize the browser, so as to avoid the request for two-factor authentication for subsequent accesses.
Once you have logged out, you will be automatically brought back to the login screen: enter, therefore, the address of the second e-mail box you wish to access, press the button Submit on the keyboard, then specify the Password access to the service and that's it: if necessary, press the button Mail in the iCloud management screen to access the mailbox directly.
Smartphones and tablets
At the time of writing this guide, there is no iCloud email app dedicated to smartphones and tablets Android: What you can do, however, is to add the additional mailbox to the Gmail app, fully compatible with Apple's service.
Due to some security settings, however, it is not possible to use the general iCloud password to configure e-mail within clients not produced by Apple, but a specific password must be generated to be associated with the app in question; for this step to be successful, it is essential that thetwo-factor authentication is active on the account in question: if you have not yet done so, you can fix it by following the instructions I have given you in this guide.
Once two-factor authentication is activated, you can generate a specific password for the Gmail app for Android as follows: connect to this Internet page directly from the device you intend to act on, log in by entering the necessary data and then , tap the links Safety e Generate password.
At this point, enter a label to identify the password you are about to generate (eg. Android Gmail) and tap the button Generates: take note of the password shown on the screen, respecting upper and lower case (and including any special characters), as you will need it shortly. Also know that app-specific passwords can be used once and only once.
Finally, launch the gmail, swipe from left to center to call up its main menu, tap items Settings e Add account, specify the option Other and proceed in the same way as indicated in the paragraph dedicated to Gmail for Android, but taking care to use theemail address associated with the iCloud account and to specify the password generated previously and not the one you usually use to log into iCloud (which will be reported as incorrect).
If, on the other hand, you have to enter another iCloud email from iOS, things are much simpler, as the service is natively integrated into the operating system. To proceed, open the Settings of your device by touching the gear-shaped icon located on the Home screen of the same, tap on the items Settings e Password and account (on iOS 14 and later you have to go up Settings> Mail or Settings> Contacts) and tap the option Add account present in the new proposed panel.
At this point, tap on the icon iCloud, enter the e-mail address in the appropriate field, press the button NEXT, specify the access password and tap again on NEXT; Finally, define the synchronization options (taking care to leave it on ON the stalk at Mail) and il gioco è fatto!
This will automatically add your mailbox to the app Mail which, by default, will display all the mailboxes configured on the device. To access individual emails selectively, start the app Mail, swipe from the left edge towards the center and choose the box of your interest from those proposed.

How do you say? You have only partially found the information I have given you in this guide useful, as you would like enter another email through the email client you usually use on a computer">computer">computer">computer? Then this is the section of the tutorial that best suits your case.
Most existing e-mail programs allow you to configure and manage multiple mailboxes at the same time: a fundamental requirement, however, is activate IMAP for the email service you intend to configure; for your information, the IMAP protocol is what allows you to manage emails across various devices, avoiding unexpected behavior caused by synchronization errors.
If you have not yet activated the IMAP protocol, I invite you to follow the instructions indicated in this guide to immediately remedy; also, I invite you to note the mailbox configuration parameters specific to your service, as you will need them to add the email to the program of your choice.
Below I show you the procedures to use to configure an additional mailbox in the most popular desktop clients.
