I've already been using a live.com account for email for several years, so it was no problem to login to my Lumia 640 using that account. But I just bought a used 1520 for my wife, who is a Gmail user. I've been searching online to find out whether she has to create an outlook.com or hotmail etc. email account to be able to use her phone, when it arrives.
According to Wikipedia, she can create a "Microsoft account" using her Google credentials. According to some other sources, she has to create a new outlook.com (or whatever) email account, at least for Windows 10. I'd like to know in advance of getting the thing and helping her set it up. The confusion seems to be about what constitutes a "Microsoft account."
