1. From Setup, enter Email to Salesforce in the Quick Find box, then select **Email to Salesforce**.
2. Click **Edit**.
3. Select **Active**.
4. If you plan to configure Email to Salesforce to verify the legitimacy of the sending server before processing a message, ensure that the senders who you expect to use Email to Salesforce support at least one of these [authentication protocols](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.emailadmin_deliverability.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
    
    - SPF
    - SenderId
    - DomainKeys
    
    Email to Salesforce accepts the email only if the sending server passes at least one of these protocols and doesn’t fail any of them.
    
    To configure Email to Salesforce to verify the legitimacy of the sending server before processing a message, select **Advanced Email Security Settings**.
5. Click **Save**.
6. To notify users that Email to Salesforce is activated, click **Send Notification Email**. Otherwise, click **Skip This Step**.

Salesforce creates a unique Email to Salesforce address for each user. Users view their Email to Salesforce address and customize their settings on the My Email to Salesforce page in their personal settings.
