# Email account per user

In Robaws you have the option to **send emails.** To do so, you have to [create an email account](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/creating-an-email-account-hviug2/). Via this email account we connect to your mail server (for example Office or Gmail) to send the emails.
There are various [types of email accounts](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/types-of-email-accounts-j8j80u/) you can work with in Robaws.
