# Email Accounts

{% hint style="danger" %}
Either run the guide for '**Email Accounts'** or '**SMTP Mail Setup'**, you don't need both!

*'Feature Update: Enhanced email capabilities'* needs to be **enabled** in feature management for you to find the assisted setup bellow.
{% endhint %}

## Setup E-mail via "Email Accounts"

* In Business Central, search and go to the page 'Assisted Setup'
* In 'Assisted Setup', click on 'Set up outgoing email' if its not already Completed.\
  (If this is already Completed, you can jump to the '[Initialize](/freemium/installation-guide/initialize.md)' page)

*  Select the email type and progress the assisted guide as instructed in the pop-ups.

* Fill in the email account details and then click next when you are done.

![Example of Microsoft 365 Shared account settings](/files/-MbL98SC9UjF8H44Fj4E)

![Example if SMTP account settings](/files/-MbLA8rP-PyAQ3nfPqTX)

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you choose to run Microsoft 365 shared mailbox, the BC user who runs the GEDIQUEUE job queue later, needs to have e-mail rights configured for the outgoing e-mail address.
{% endhint %}

* Finish the assisted setup. If you need to verify your settings, you can click ‘Send Test Email’ in the assisted guide itself and check if it works. If not, you can go back and check the entered details.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you have problems setting up your SMTP, please contact your Business Central partner to help you with this.
{% endhint %}

Move on to 'Initialize' when you have a working outgoing e-mail.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.goldenedi.com/freemium/installation-guide/smtp/email-accounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
