Adding an Email Account on Mac Mail
Once you have all required details to set up the email account, proceed by adding an email account to Mac Mail:
Open launcher by pressing F4 button, search for Mail and access it.
Click on Mail and choose Add Account.
On a new pop-up choose Add Other Mail Account… and press Continue button.
Enter your email account information and press Sign In button:
Mac Mail will try to sign in to your email account. This will most likely fail and present you with an error message Unable to verify account name or password. This is normal, as it will ask you to manually input mail server details:
- Email Address – The email address you want to configure on Mac Mail.
- Username – Username used to login to mail server. You can leave it empty, as email client will try to pull it automatically.
- Password – Password used to login to your email account.
- Account Type – You can choose from IMAP and POP. The IMAP method will leave a copy of every email on the server. This may or may not be the best option for your situation. Talk to one of our team members for a recommendation.
- Incoming Mail Server – Enter Incoming Mail (IMAP access) Server in this format mail.mydomain.com (substitute mydomain.com with your own domain name). Use Port 993 for IMAP and Port 995 for POP (if requested)
- Outgoing Mail Server – Enter Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server in this format mail.mydomain.com (substitute mydomain.com with your own domain name). Use Port 465 for SMTP (if requested)
If there are any checkboxes in this process that ask if you want TLS/ SSL - please check these to ON. Also check any Port numbers shown match the numbers above and change if needed.
Once you have finished entering all required details, press Sign In button.
If you entered all email details correctly, sign in should be successful and Mac Mail will ask you which apps you want to use with a newly added email account. Choose preferred apps and press Done button.
That is it, you have successfully added a new email account to Mac Mail client!
