Overview
You must create Email accounts to connect to data sources that you want to use in your Pipelines. You can create an account in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the Manager. In Designer, when working on pipelines, every Snap that needs an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing account. The accounts can be created in or used from:
Your private project folder: This folder contains the pipelines that will use the account.
Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to the Project Space.
The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users within an organization in the SnapLogic instance.

In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click
> Account > Email, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type appears.Repeat the steps numbered 3 through 5 in the Creating an account section.
