 | With the Email app in , you can manage your email account. |
|---|
To use the Email app in , you must have an existing email account.
You can use the following types of email accounts:
- Personal account (not recommended):Personal accounts are a set of credentials used by an individual person and only that person. They provide the appropriate security context for that user, and actions done by the account can be attributed only to that user under normal circumstances. For example, most companies provide a personal account for each employee to manage their own email.
- Service Accounts:Administrators of third-party applications commonly create service accounts that represent another application or process instead of a specific person to provide the appropriate security context. Credentials for such an account may be stored and managed by a select group of people rather than being maintained privately by only one person. All actions done by a service account (for example, accessing, editing, or creating a record in a third-party application) can be attributed to that service account and anyone who has access to the account. For example, a large corporation may create a special email account, [email protected], with a password shared by multiple people.
