2. Select Options from the menu that has appeared.

   • Click Other email accounts under Add a connected account.
   • Type the email address you wish to use under Email address.
   • Enter the email account's password under Password. If the email account (e.g. Yahoo! Mail) uses 2-step authentication, you may need to create an application password and use that instead of the main account password.
