How To Pin Outlook.com to the Windows Taskbar
By
Last Updated on
Log in to your Outlook.com account in your favorite browser. Then click and drag the Outlook icon from the address bar to the Windows Taskbar and select Pin to Taskbar.
When you bring up the Jump List, you’ll have options to open your inbox or send an email. Another cool thing about this is it gives you quick access to Calendar, People, and SkyDrive.
If you’re using Windows 8 and the modern UI, you can pin it to the Start screen.

I don’t get an icon other than a padlock up there in Firefox, am I missing something?

I finally did it. You made the red arrow to short. It’s not the big outlook icon, to drag, but the one from the url address in the browser…

tried repeatedly. I want the taskbar at top of page to have shortcut. I’ve dragged it to BOTTOM task bar, but released it and it didn’t attach. SIGH. I am not very good, but usually can follow decent instructions. Very frustrating. Should be a detailed explanation from WIndows 10.
