Hello, im from Germany, I'm using the german version of 1Password, so I'm not sure, if the translations are correct.
I want to insert a new record in the the category "Email-Account". I want to use the webmail feature out of the record but it seems, that isn't possible to insert a section like in the Login category where it ist possible to "open and fill" the website with login and password.
Is this possible to do in the category "E-Mail-Account"?

    The only category that will login from 1P4 is the Login category. That means you need your webmail account login to be in the Logins category. What I do is to have my email account details under the Email Accounts category but my webmail login under the Logins category. I link the two by using tags (although you can also use similar names so they appear together when you use search).

    @Stephen_C is correct. The Email Accounts data type is only needed if you use your mailbox with a client app that requires entry of server settings. Many modern email clients come pre-configured with the correct server information for the major providers like Apple, Google, AOL, and Yahoo. I have a lot of email accounts, but very few of them merit their own Email Accounts entries in my 1Password keychain.
