# Create Email Account

`POST /companies/{company_id}/email-accounts`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.zeno-works.ch` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://app.zeno-works.ch/companies/{company_id}/email-accounts`
- Auth: none declared

Add an IMAP account to a company (accountant/owner). Secret encrypted at rest, never
returned.

For a company user (not a platform admin) ``imap_host`` must resolve to a public address
(422 ``invalid.integrationHost``) — the server connects there.

## Cookies

- `access_token` string, nullable
