# Running koushin with a Google account
## Create an application password
First, you'll need to obtain an application-specific password for koushin from
the [app passwords] page on your Google account.
## Run koushin
Start koushin with these upstream URLs:
koushin imaps://imap.gmail.com smtps://smtp.gmail.com \
carddavs://www.googleapis.com/carddav/v1/principals/YOUREMAIL/
Replace `YOUREMAIL` with your Google account's e-mail address.
Once koushin is started, you can login with your e-mail address and the app
password.
