![](en/03.settings.gif)

![](en/05.identity.gif)

|![](en/05.identity_03.png)|
|![](en/note.png) **NOTE**|
|:--:|
|Remember save the changes by clicking the Update button|
## Contacts
![](en/06.contacts_settings.png)
In this section you can configure if the client will automatically add the addresses to the address book. You can also add an address book stored in the cloud to synchronize on all your devices.
The procedure is pretty simple.
1. Enable remote synchronization
2. Enter the address of the Address book you want to synchronize
3. Enter the username and password of the service in which the address book is stored. In our case it would be `your_disroot_username` and `your_disroot_password`
And that's it.
## Identities
![](en/07.identity_settings_01.png)
**Identities** allow the sender to create and associate a set of sending properties such as email address, reply address and signatures.<br>
To learn more about configuring Identities, please check this [**howto**](/communication/email/alias/webmail).
## Filters
![](en/08.filters.png)
The filters allows users to manage incoming mails in automated fashion such as moving incoming mail to a directory based on certain criteria, setting up out-of-office/holiday autoreply, automatically reject or forward emails etc.
To create a filter click on the **+ Add a Filter** button.
![](en/08.filters_creation.png)
A filter is a set of conditions used to organize incoming mail. The filter editor comes with a set of basic conditions and actions that combined are useful for this task.
![](en/08.filters_conditions.gif)
To see a more detailed example of how it works and some of its uses, you can check this [howto](/communication/email/filters/) about setting a filter.
## Security
![](en/09.security_settings.png)
At **Security** you'll find the option to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) and add an extra layer of security to your account. It is advisable to be sure you understand how **2FA** works and the precautions you need to take in order not to lose access to your account.
Click on **Configure 2-Step verification** to activate the **2FA** and then **Activate**.
![](en/09.security_2af_02.png)
![](en/09.security_2af_03.png)
For most **OTP** (One-Time Password) applications, the procedure is as follows:
1. Scan the QR code previously generated
2. The program will then display a six digit code.<br> **This is the code you will need to sign in to your account**
Now, back at the **2-Step Verification** settings, you'll find a link that says **test**, right next to the *Enable 2-step verification* box.
![](en/09.security_2af_03.2.png)
Click it.
![](en/09.security_2af_04.png)
Enter the six digit code generated on your phone app then press **Test**.
![](en/09.security_2af_05.png)
If verification is ok, the button will turn into green. Close the test by clicking the **x** on that window.
![](en/09.security_2af_06.png)
Check the *Enable 2-Step verification* box and finally press **Done**.
After that, every time you sign into **Disroot** Webmail, you'll need to generate the six digit code in your **OTP** application and enter it along with your username and password combination.
![](en/09.security_2af_07.png)
|![](en/note.png) **NOTE**|
|:--:|
|Remeber to back up the codes in a safe place **other than your phone**. Really.<br>Because if, let's say, you lose or break it and you can't recover the codes, there's no way to regain access to the account.
## Folders
![](en/10.folders_settings.png)
At the Folders settings you'll find the options to create new folders or to change the system ones.
It's the place where you can organize your mails by creating folders per category, for example a SPAM folder, a Work related folder, etc.
To create a new folder, just click on the **Create Folder** button, give it a name and select under which System folder it will be located.
![](en/10.folders_creation.gif)

![](en/10.folders_system.gif)
## Themes

![](en/12.opgp.png)

### Importing a PGP key

![](en/12.opgp_import.png)

![](en/12.opgp_generate.png)
