You will need to grant Accessibility permissions to MsgFiler 4 so it can perform actions against the Mail application, such as:

* getting the list of mailboxes
* getting the current selected messages
* filing messages
* opening mailboxes
* creating new mailboxes

Follow the steps below to grant Accessibility permissions to MsgFiler 4:

1. Click **Open Accessibility**.
2. The **System Settings** application will open to the **Accessibility** pane of the **Privacy & Security** section.
3. MsgFiler will show this screen where you will **click and drag the MsgFiler 4 icon** over to the **Accessibility** pane.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If there is another MsgFiler 4 entry in the Accessibility section, you may need to remove it before the drag and drop can work. Select the MsgFiler 4 entry and click the minus button in the bottom-left of the list of application.
{% endhint %}
