# Gmail Authentication

The option on how to send emails is per user, not per company/branch. To change how your user account sends emails, click User Preference on the home screen or go to File->

Users-> Modify User-> User Preferences Tab-> Email Tab. All email options use the CenPoint email form to compose your email, default in recipients (i.e., Billing contacts, quote prepared for, etc.) attach documents etc. The only thing that changes is how it sends behind the scenes. Emails are logged according to your branch settings.
