Enable Permissions

After logging into your email, your mail host may ask you to accept permissions. Ensure that you accept all permissions asked by SeekOut, including the ability to view email message metadata labels and headers and the ability to send mail on your behalf. 

The permissions screen will look different depending on your mail host. Below is an example of Google's permissions screen when linking your email to SeekOut.

Confirm your account is connected

When your account has been linked, you will be automatically returned to the Messaging Settings tab. Your linked email address will be in the section 'Your connected email accounts.'
