  • 0

Step 1: Open Mac Mail

Step 2: Click Accounts from the under the File menu.

Step 3: You will now enter your details for your email account. When complete click Continue.

 

Full Name = Your name that will be displayed on outgoing email messages

Email Address = Your full email address

Password = Your email account password

 

Step 4: After we have skipped the automatic configuration, we are taken into a manual setup.  This is where we will specify the settings needed to connect your Mac Mail to your inbox on our server. You will enter the details below and then select Continue.

 

Account Type = POP3

Description = This could be whatever you would like displayed in your Mac Mail

Incoming Mail Server = mail.yourdomain.com (where yourdomain.com is your website address minus the www)

Username = Your full email address

Password = Your email account password

 

Step 5: Now we see that it is asking about SSL. If you added the hostname to the incoming server as instructed in the previous step, you can leave this checked. If you do not wish to use SSL or do not know what it is, simply uncheck this.

 

Select Password from the dropdown list.

Click Continue.

 

Step 6: We have now arrived to a place where we need to configure our outgoing settings so you can send email from your mac mail. Enter the details below and click Continue.

Step 7: Now we see that it is asking about SSL once again. If you added the hostname to the outgoing server as instructed in the previous step, you can leave this checked. If you do not wish to use SSL or do not know what it is, simply uncheck this

Step 8: We are almost done! You will see a screen that will display all the details you have entered. If everything checks out, then you click and Create.
