# Using Zulip via email
|
|
|
|
With Zulip, it is possible for some members of your organization to participate
|
|
from their email client, without opening the Zulip app after the initial
|
|
setup is complete.
|
|
|
|
## Subscribe a Zulip channel to a mailing list
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
1. Create a mailing list to use with Zulip, or use an existing one.
|
|
|
|
2. Create a Zulip channel that will receive mailing list traffic, or
|
|
use an existing one.
|
|
|
|
3. [Find the email address](/help/message-a-channel-by-email#message-a-channel-by-email_1)
|
|
for the channel you created. You can customize the details of how emails
|
|
are formatted in Zulip using the
|
|
[Configuration options][configuration-options].
|
|
|
|
[configuration-options]: /help/message-a-channel-by-email#configuration-options
|
|
|
|
4. Add the email address for the channel to the mailing list.
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
New emails sent to the email list will now be mirrored to the channel.
|
|
|
|
## Setup instructions for email users
|
|
|
|
If you want to interact with Zulip primarily (or entirely) via your email client:
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
1. [Subscribe](/help/introduction-to-channels#browse-and-subscribe-to-channels) to any channels you are
|
|
interested in.
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|notifications}
|
|
|
|
1. In the **Notification triggers** table, make sure both of the checkboxes
|
|
under **Email** are checked.
|
|
|
|
1. Close the Zulip window. Zulip does not send email notifications
|
|
while you are actively engaging with the web application.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
New Zulip messages will now be delivered to your email account. You
|
|
can reply directly to the emails coming from Zulip, and your replies
|
|
will be posted in the appropriate topic or direct message
|
|
conversation on Zulip.
