# Email setup

> Send email to leads from your own mailbox, set your email signature and choose the address shown on your materials.

Email you send to a lead from Fondaro goes out from your own mailbox. The lead sees your address, their reply comes back to your inbox, and a copy sits in your Sent folder. Each person sets this up on **Settings › Me › Inboxes**.

## Connect your mailbox

1. Open **Settings › Me › Inboxes**.
2. Under **Email and calendar**, choose **Google**, **Microsoft** or **Other mailbox**.
3. Follow the steps in [Inboxes](https://www.fondaro.com/docs/dashboard/integrations/connected-accounts.md#connect-your-email-and-calendar).

The email composer on a lead then shows your address as **From**. Fondaro never sends as itself: without a connected mailbox there is nothing to send from, and the composer shows **Connect your mailbox** instead.

If your mailbox needs attention (you changed your password, or removed access at Google or Microsoft), the composer shows **Reconnect**. Nothing you wrote is lost.

## Set your signature

1. On **Settings › Me › Inboxes**, find **Signature**.
2. Choose **Automatic** (made from your profile and agency), **Custom HTML** or **None**.
3. For Custom HTML, select **Edit**, paste the signature from your email program, check the preview and save.

Your signature is added to every email you send from Fondaro. With **None**, your emails go out without one. To add one again, choose Automatic or Custom HTML.

## Send an email Ask Fondaro drafted

Ask Fondaro can draft an email for you. Its card shows the exact **From** and **To**, your signature and the message, which you can edit. Nothing is sent until you select **Send email**; it then goes out from your mailbox and is saved on the lead.

## Choose the address on your materials

The **Public email** on **Settings › Me › Profile** is the address shown for you on brochures, your website and listings. It is not a sending address. Leave it empty to show the address you sign in with. Admins can set a teammate's from **Settings › My agency › Team** (**Edit contact card**).

> **Tip:** Portal enquiries often go to your agency's `info@` address. An admin can connect it as a [shared mailbox](https://www.fondaro.com/docs/dashboard/integrations/shared-mailbox.md).
