You can connect each ELMA365 account with one email address. To link an email to your account, follow these steps:
- Open the User profile settings. You can do it in two ways:
- Open the Email workspace in the left menu and click Connect Email in the center of the page.
- Click your name in the upper right corner of any page in the system and select Settings. In the User Settings window, click Email in the left menu.

- Service*. Specify the email service option. You can choose:
- Name of a standard service: Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, or Office365.
- Name of an email with a custom domain, if the administrator has configured the corporate email server parameters.
- The Other option, to set up email connection with a corporate domain using the SMTP and IMAP protocols. In this case, enter the login and password for the connected SMTP and IMAP server in the Login* and Password* fields. They can be requested from the server administrator.
The list of available options depends on the email service settings established by the system administrator.
- Login*. If you have selected a standard email service, enter your email login.
- Password*. If you have selected a standard email service, enter your email password.
Note that the settings of some email services require you to additionally enable access to your inbox via the IMAP protocol.
