# Quick start

# Quick start

Send your first email with Mailofly in a few minutes.

***

## 1. Create an account

[Sign up free](https://www.mailofly.com/register) — no credit card required.

***

## 2. Connect a sending account

Open **[Accounts](https://www.mailofly.com/user/accounts)** and connect one of:

* **Google** — one-click OAuth (Gmail / Workspace)
* **SMTP** — SendGrid, Mailgun, SES, cPanel, etc.
* **Domain** — send from `@yourdomain.com` after [DNS verification](https://docs.mailofly.com/guides/domains)

Send a test email from the account card to confirm it works.

***

## 3. Send

**In the app:** click **Compose**, pick your account, add a recipient, and send.

**From code:** create an [API key](api-keys.md), copy your account key (`acc_…`), then pick a quickstart:

* [Node.js](nodejs.md)
* [Python](python.md)
* [PHP](php.md)
* [Go](go.md)
* [Dart](dart.md)
* [cURL](http.md)

## 4. Check delivery

Open **[Emails](https://www.mailofly.com/user/emails)**. Status should be `sent`. If it failed, open the row for the error.
