# Which applications take advantage of online accounts?

Online Accounts can be used by external applications to automatically configure themselves.

# With a Google account

Evolution, the email application. Your email account will be added to Evolution automatically, so it will retrieve your mail, give you access to your contacts, and display your calendar items in your Google agenda.

Empathy, the instant messaging application. Your online account will be added and you will be able to communicate with your friends.

Contacts, which will allow to see and edit your contacts.

Documents can access your online documents and display them.

# With Windows Live, Facebook or Twitter accounts

Empathy can use these accounts to connect you online and chat with your contacts, friends, and followers.

# With a SkyDrive account

Documents can access your online documents in Microsoft SkyDrive and display them.

# With a Exchange account

Once you have created an Exchange account, Evolution will start retrieving mails from this account.

When an ownCloud account is set up, Evolution is able to access and edit contacts and calendar appointments.

Files and other applications will be able to list and access your online files stored in the ownCloud installation.
