# Email Accounts Page in Django CRM
8+
9+
The **Email Accounts** page in Django CRM is the control center for configuring and monitoring all
10+
email channels used for client communication, CRM mailing, and CRM email marketing campaigns.
11+
12+
Django CRM supports integration with any email provider that works via SMTP and IMAP protocols,
13+
including services such as **Gmail**.
14+
This enables reliable two-way synchronization for both individual correspondence and large-scale mass mailing operations.
15+
16+

17+
18+
## What You Can See on the Email Accounts Page
19+
20+
All connected and assigned email accounts are displayed in a structured table.
21+
This overview provides operational transparency for your CRM mailing and mass mail activities.
22+
23+
The table allows you to quickly identify:
24+
25+
- **Accounts assigned to you**
26+
A complete list of email accounts you are authorized to use.
27+
28+
- **Default account for customer communication**
29+
The account currently designated by the CRM as the primary one for outgoing correspondence.
30+
31+
- **Automatic synchronization status**
32+
Indicates which accounts have IMAP synchronization enabled.
33+
This is especially important for importing incoming emails that contain tickets and automatically linking them to CRM records.
34+
35+
- **Daily sending activity**
36+
37+
- Timestamp of the last email sent
38+
- Total number of emails sent on that day through each account
39+
This helps you monitor workload distribution and detect unusual activity during mass mail campaigns.
40+
41+
- **System notifications**
42+
CRM displays notifications related to:
43+
44+
- Errors during a mass mailing or CRM email marketing campaign
45+
- Successful completion of a mailing campaign
46+
47+
This operational visibility allows you to assess performance and reliability of each account used for CRM mailing.

## Viewing Detailed Account Information
52+
53+
To access extended information, click on a specific email account in the list.
54+
55+
The detailed view may include:
56+
57+
- Login credentials (visible depending on permissions)
58+
- SMTP and IMAP configuration parameters
59+
- Synchronization settings
60+
- Account usage statistics
61+
62+
This section is particularly useful when troubleshooting issues related to mass mail,
63+
CRM email marketing campaigns, or email import errors.

66+
67+
## Important Configuration Notes
68+
69+
### 1. Administrative Access Required
70+
71+
Correct configuration of SMTP and IMAP parameters requires technical expertise.
72+
If you need to modify email account settings, contact your CRM administrator.
73+
74+
Improper configuration may lead to:
75+
76+
- Failed CRM mailing campaigns
77+
- Broken synchronization
78+
- Email delivery errors
79+
- Incomplete ticket imports
80+
81+
---
82+
83+
### 2. Main Account and VIP Logic
84+
85+
Django CRM applies a specific rule for the **main email account**:
86+
87+
- The main account is used for sending mailings **only to recipients marked as VIP**.
88+
- If your selected audience for a mass mailing contains no VIP contacts, emails will **not** be sent
89+
through the main account — even if it is authorized for use in CRM email marketing.
90+
91+
This rule ensures priority handling of strategic clients and prevents misuse of primary communication channels.
92+
93+

94+
95+
## Best Practices for CRM Mailing and Mass Mailing
96+
97+
To ensure stable CRM email marketing operations:
98+
99+
- Regularly monitor sending statistics for each account.
100+
- Verify synchronization status for accounts responsible for ticket processing.
101+
- Check CRM notifications after every mass mail campaign.
102+
- Coordinate with your administrator before modifying account settings.
103+
- Confirm VIP tagging before launching a campaign that depends on the main account.
