# Connecting your personal mailbox

Loop enables you to manage your internal, external and personal communications all on a single platform, allowing you to keep focus and work more efficiently.

When you first join Loop, you set up your account using your personal work email. Connecting that account to Loop allows you to sync your emails into your dashboard.

To sync your personal account, navigate to your side panel and press the plus next to your email address. This will prompt you to connect your email address. Once synced, your emails will appear in your inbox PLUS Loop Inbox - allowing you to work from a single point.
