- 1.1.4.1. Adding an Email Account
- How to configure email accounts
Email providers frequently update their security settings. For instance, in 2022, Yandex modified how email is accessed through the SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols. Similarly, Google has updated its security requirements, resulting in changes to email setup.
As a result, the account password can no longer be used for email connections in the 1C:FirstBit app. To configure the email account, the user must make additional adjustments on their email server.
I. If you need to add a Google mail account, follow these steps to connect your email:
Enable Less Secure Apps (if necessary):
- Go to your Google Account settings.
- Under "Security," find the option for "Less secure app access" and enable it, or use App Passwords if 2-Step Verification is enabled.
Generate an App Password (if using 2FA):
- If you have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled, you must generate an app password.
- Go to your Google Account > Security > App passwords, select the app and device you want to use, and generate the password.
Configure the Mail Client:
- In your email setup, input the following server settings:
- Incoming Mail (IMAP): imap.gmail.com, Port 993, SSL enabled
- Outgoing Mail (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com, Port 465 or 587, SSL/TLS enabled
- Username: Your full Gmail address (e.g., example@gmail.com)
- Password: Your Google account password or the generated App Password
- In your email setup, input the following server settings:
Test the Connection:
- After configuring the settings, test the connection to ensure everything is working correctly.
Following these steps will enable your Google mail account to connect seamlessly to the mail client.
If you need to add a Google Mail account, follow these steps to connect your email:
1) enable exchange via SMTP and POP3 (or IMAP) protocols (POP protocol is used less and less often as it is insecure and many mail servers do not recommend it, IMAP is preferable).
2) Enable two-factor authorization in your Google account settings;
3) then go to the link https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords and generate a password for 1C:FirstBit application - the password will be shown to you only once, it should be memorized (copied and saved) and then used when setting up email account in 1C system.
II. If you need to add a Yandex mail account (relevant for Russian clients), follow these steps to configure it:
Enable IMAP/SMTP Access:

- Go to Settings > Mailbox settings.
- In the "Access to Mail" section, ensure that IMAP/SMTP access is enabled.
Generate an App Password (if Two-Factor Authentication is enabled):
- If you have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled, you'll need to generate an app-specific password.
- Go to your Yandex account settings > Account security > App passwords and generate a new password for your mail client.
Configure the Mail Client:
- Use the following server settings:
- Incoming Mail (IMAP): imap.yandex.com, Port 993, SSL enabled
- Outgoing Mail (SMTP): smtp.yandex.com, Port 465 or 587, SSL/TLS enabled
- Username: Your full Yandex email address (e.g., example@yandex.ru)

By following these steps, you will be able to successfully add your Yandex mail account.
II. If you need to add a Yandex-mail account (relevant for Russian clients), the configuration will be done as follows:
1) enable exchange via SMTP, POP, IMAP
2) enable application password settings on your account on Yandex and generate an additional password, which should be specified in the settings in the application for exchange (for example, on your phone or in the 1c program) - it is not the same password with which we usually enter the mail in the browser).
III. Use generated password in this field
