# 3.6. Multiple Accounts

Multiple accounts are used to check mail from more than one email address and/or mail server. Select File | Settings... and click on the Network tab to add or change your account settings. See the Customizing Kmail section for more information on the settings in the Network tab.

To check mail from a particular account, use the Check Mail in... submenu to select the account to use to check your mail. It is not currently possible to tell which account is active, so if you have created multiple accounts, use the Check Mail in... submenu instead of the Check Mail menu item.
