Setting up e-mail accounts on Mac OSX
To set up a Mac OSX Mail account, follow these steps:
- In Mac OS X, click the Mail icon to open Mail
- If you haven't already set up an e-mail account, the Mail set-up window appears. Type your e-mail settings to create your account. If the Mail set-up window doesn't appear, choose Preferences from the Mail menu
- Click the 'Accounts' icon at the top of the window, and then click the 'Add Account' button
- In the window that appears, choose your incoming mail server type from the Account Type pop-up menu. Enter: mail.domain.co.uk
- Type a description of your account, your e-mail address, your name and other required information in the fields provided
- Click the 'Options' button to add your outgoing mail server. It must be set to use the same info as the incoming mail server and check the 'Requires authentication' box
- Click OK to close the Accounts sheet
Now test that you can send and receive e-mail.
