# NextCloud Connect Mail Account – EN

In the new version of our cloud (NextCloud) the webmail interface is now integrated. In this tutorial you will learn how to connect your mail account to Nextcloud.

**NOTE**: M‑accounts are only authorized for logging into Webmail, not for the Cloud. To set up an m‑account, you must first sign in to the Cloud with your p‑/s‑account.

## Connect Mailaccount

Log in to Nextcloud. This can be accessed directly via Base or via [link](https://cloud.uni-ak.ac.at/).

Now click on the mail icon in the upper left corner.

Now your old filters are applied.

Unfortunately, new filters cannot yet be integrated smoothly if old filters are still in use. For this, please contact the ZID via [helpdesk@uni-ak.ac.at](mailto:helpdesk@uni-ak.ac.at) or via DW 2107

## Create new Filter

If you don't use Roundcube filters, you can add new filters by selecting "**rainloop.user**". Then click on **Filter hinzufügen** or **Add Filter**

Then click on **Speichern/Save**to save the filter.
