  2. Click on "Account Settings" and then "Manage Add-ins".
  3. Click on "Go" next to "COM Add-ins" and then click "Add".
  4. Browse to the location where you installed the AWS SES add-in (usually C:\Program Files\Amazon SES\Amazon SES Add-in.dll).

  6. Click "OK" to save the changes.

Step 5: Test your setup
