- 1.1.4.1. Adding an Email Account
- How to configure email accounts
Email providers frequently update security settings, which can impact how email is accessed through protocols like SMTP, POP3, and IMAP. For example, in 2022, Yandex and Google modified their security requirements, affecting how email accounts are configured. As a result, 1C: FirstBit users must make additional adjustments when setting up email accounts.
I. 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) 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 an email account in the 1C system
Test the Connection: Verify that the email account connects successfully.
These steps will enable your Google Mail account to connect seamlessly to the mail client.
By following these steps, you will be able to successfully add your Yandex mail account.
