The Gmail app comes preinstalled on most of the Android devices. If you cannot find it on yours, you may look for it on Google Play Store or install another email client.
The option to add non-Gmail accounts into the app is supported since Android 4.0+.

If you have already configured an account different from Gmail, tap on the menu on the upper left side of the screen.
On the right, next to your username you will see a drop down menu. Open it and tap + Add account.
