# Outgoing Email

{% hint style="danger" %}
In Business Central version 18 and later, a new feature for outgoing email was added called '**Email Accounts**'.
{% endhint %}

We recommend that you use the new way of setting up e-mail via '**Email Accounts**' when setting up a new GEDI Freemium. 

Both '**Email accounts**' and '**SMTP Mail Setup**' is compatible with GEDI Freemium.\
'**Email Accounts**" have priority if your environment have both configured.

'**Email Accounts**' have more functionality build into Business Central in Standard, and GEDI Freemium can take full advantage of these new functionalities. 

New advantages of using '**Email Accounts**' is for example;

* Possibility to setup multiple outgoing e-mail accounts.
* Adding scenarios, using different outgoing e-mails per document type.
* Overview in Business Central of email sent out as well as preview of them.
* Easier setup of MS 365 Shared mailboxes.
* Reply or forward a already sent e-mail using the inbuilt preview of the email.

Please contact your Business Central partner for more information about added advantaged of using '**Email Accounts**'.
