# POST Add an Account Email Address

`POST /account/emails`

Use this method to add a new email address to a Constant Contact account. If the email address you are adding already exists in the account the API will return a 409 conflict error. 

When you add a new email address to an account, Constant Contact automatically sends an email to that address with a link to confirm it. After a user clicks that link, the account email status changes from `UNCONFIRMED` to `CONFIRMED`. You can use confirmed account email addresses in the email campaign `from_email` and `reply_to_email` headers. For more use case information, see [Add an Account Email Address](/api_guide/account_post_emails.html) in the API guide.
