**Using Friendica’s email connector**
Friendica’s email connector is a very powerful, integrative feature. It allows to you add conventional email contacts to your social networking stream.
That means that you can send a status update out to friends or relatives who don’t use any social networks at all – and they will simply see it in their email clients, while your other contacts may read the same message on Friendica or Facebook. Also, you can view any mails you receive from those email contacts in your general social stream on Friendica. So people like your parents or grandparents could be in your social stream, although they don’t actually participate in social networks and don’t want to. Of course, their messages will then only be visible to you personally.
**Activating the connector**
This functionality is easily set up in Friendica. You will find it under _Settings -> Connector Settings_. Scroll down to __Email/Mailbox Setup__. Now enter your email account details as if you were configuring a desktop mail client. Find your ISP’s support info on this topic if you lack any account details.
