# Turning on the Daylite Mail Assistant Extension

### New Installation

Although the Daylite Mail Assistant window comes installed with Daylite, it will need to be turned on and given permission to access Apple Mail.

Open Apple Mail and click on **Settings > General > Extensions** in the Mail menu.

Next, you will need to check the box in the **Extensions List** to turn on Daylite Mail Assistant. You will also need to agree to the prompt asking you to confirm installation.

### Finish Setup

The Daylite Mail Assistant window will appear with instructions for enabling the required **permissions** **for Accessibility and Automation**. You will be required to turn these permissions on.
