update account field on case level

hi there 
Concerning a mail - to case.the mail is coming from a specific email address off course.
When such a case is created I need to update the account on this case.
It seems I cannot use a simple workflow because account is not available in the drop down (go only knows why, this could be to easy....).
Anyone got a clue how to do so without writing any apex code ?
thank you
Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey,

Use can use process builder. When there is relationship between objects Process builder lets you update the records related  ( In your case its Account records ) to actual record (In your scenario its Case record).

Please refer to below links:

Hope this helps! Please mark as best if it does.

Thanks

Hi, thank you for reply, unfortuntely i don't see the solution here. The fields on the case are Account name and Number and by using the process builder I can only update de account ID on the case.
