# Outlook

This document will walk through how to locate and configure auto-forwarding for Outlook on both the new and old layout.

## Locate Your AP Inbox

Navigate to your name in the upper right corner, click Admin. Under the Bill Settings you can find your unique AP Inbox.

> [!WARNING]
> **MakersHub Only Processes Valid Attachments**
> 
> When processing emails, we look for attachments (pdf, jpeg, png, xls, doc, heic) or images within the email to process. At this time, we are not able to process bills included as text within the body of the email. In these situations, you may use the snipping tool and paste the bill into MakersHub.
