Resources » Configuring Email in Mac Mail
This tutorial will demonstrate the setup procedure for the mail program that is included with OS X and email hosted with Matthew Fleming Inc. Some versions may vary.
1. Open the Mail application. If this is your first time opening the program, it may ask you to set up an account. If it does not automatically ask you, you can start the new account wizard by opening the File menu and choosing Add Account.
2. The next screen should be the add account screen. This is where you type in your full name, email address, and password. It's best to leave your email address all lower case. Click continue when you're done.
3. The next screen will ask you for the incoming mail server settings. Description can be anything you want. To keep the accounts simple to understand, it might be best to add the domain name here.
Account type: POP
Incoming Mail Server: yourdomain.com
Username: (your full email address)
Password: (password you were assigned)
Click Continue when you're done.
4. The next screen is the Outgoing Mail Server screen. Description is optional. To keep accounts simple to understand, it might be best to add the domain name here.
Outgoing Mail Server: yourdomain.com
Check the box - "Use only this server" if you do not plan on setting up additional outbound servers). Check the box "Use Authentication" and enter your full email address and password. Click Continue when you're done.
5. The next screen is an account summary. Check the box that says "Take account online" and click Create.
