- 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.

II. If you need to add a Yandex-mail account (relevant for Russian clients), the configuration will be done as follows:

1. Enable IMAP/SMTP Access:

   • Log in to your Yandex account.
   • Go to Settings > Mailbox settings.
   • In the "Access to Mail" section, ensure that IMAP/SMTP access is enabled.

           2. Generate an App Password (if Two-Factor Authentication is enabled):

• • If you have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled, you must generate an app-specific password.
  • Go to your Yandex account settings > Account security > App passwords and generate a new password for your mail client.

            3. 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)
    • Password: Your Yandex account password or the generated App Password

Test the Connection: Verify that the email account connects successfully.
