# Adding accounts

The first time you start Geary, you will be prompted to add an email account. On this screen, select if your account is Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com, or other. For other account types, you will need to enter your IMAP and SMTP login settings manually.

Additional accounts can be added from the Accounts dialog. The Accounts option is available in either Geary's application menu or the gear menu in the upper-right of the toolbar. (The location depends on the install desktop shell. For GNOME Shell and Unity, the application menu is available near the top-left corner of the screen.) Alternately, Ctrl M will open the Accounts dialog. To add an account, click the + button.

# Editing existing accounts

From the Accounts dialog, select an account and click the pencil icon to change various settings. Please note that Geary cannot change server settings on an existing account. If you need to change your IMAP or SMTP server, you will need to delete the account and re-add it.

To change the order that accounts are displayed in the folder list, drag the accounts in the Accounts dialog to the desired order.

There are some advanced options available when editing accounts:

The Save sent mail checkbox controls whether Geary will push successfully sent messages up to the account's Sent Mail folder. For Gmail accounts, this happens automatically. Yahoo and some other accounts can be configured to do this automatically as well. For other accounts, if you disable this setting, you may be unable to view messages you've sent.

The Sign emails checkbox indicates whether a signature will be automatically inserted when a composer is opened. You may enter the signature into the box immediately below. You may use HTML tags to style the text. Switch to a preview of the signature using the buttons to the right.

If you leave the signature in the Accounts dialog blank, Geary will use the .signature file in your home directory, if it exists. This file may contain either plain text or HTML markup. In the latter case, the markup will be inserted directly into the composer, without any escaping.

The Download mail drop-down allows you to configure how much mail Geary will keep locally. Geary can only use locally available mail when searching and forming conversations.

# Removing accounts

To delete an account, open the Accounts dialog, select the account, and press the - button. Geary will delete all information associated with the account.
