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 %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.msgfiler.com/onboarding/accessibility.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
