apple mail, also known as mac mail, or simply mail, is apple’s email client. allows users to add and manage different email accounts in one place.
adding an email account to your apple mail allows you to receive your emails on your mac devices and respond to them on the go, instead of signing in online to read or send mail electronics.
This article describes the steps to add an email account to the mail application.
let’s get to it.
First, here are the things you should have on hand:
- your email address
- the email password
- you would need to decide the incoming email protocol to be used (imap or pop)
- your incoming and outgoing server settings
- your spanel login credentials (if you don’t have email server settings)
then, let’s dive deeper.
open mac mail.
If you haven’t added any email accounts to the app, Mac will prompt you to do so the first time you open Apple Mail, taking you directly to choosing a mail account provider.
but if you’ve set up an account before and want to add a new email account, click mail in the menu and then add account to get to ‘select one mail account provider screen…’.
- select icloud if you are adding an icloud email account.
- use exchange to add an email account from microsoft exchange
- select google helps you add a gmail account to apple mail
- connect a yahoo mail account by selecting yahoo !</li
- click aol to add an aol mail account to the app.
- the other mail account option allows you to add a workspace email account.
for most options (icloud, exchange, google, yahoo! and aol), you don’t need to do much; just enter your email address and password following the on-screen instructions, and mac will take care of the rest.
But following these steps will help you add a workplace email in just a few clicks.
Type your name, workspace email address, and password in the respective fields and click sign in.
clicking the button will take you to a new screen and you may see an error message that says “cannot verify account name or password”.
Ignore the error and select the account type.
select imap if you want your messages to be accessible from other devices or pop to access your emails only on the device you are adding them to.
We strongly recommend that you connect via imap. you can learn more about imap and pop here.
enter your incoming mail server and outgoing mail server and click the sign in button.
Follow these steps to get your email server settings if you don’t have them.
Log in to the spanel user interface. the default login url is yourdomain.com/spanel (be sure to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name).
On the home page, click email account under the email section to access your existing email accounts.
navigate to the email account you want to add to apple mail, open the actions dropdown menu, and click connect device.
spanel displays a popup containing your incoming and outgoing server settings.
After entering your server settings and logging in, select the features you want to use with the account and click done to complete setup.
mac will fill your inbox with your email messages.
If you have added other accounts, click the arrow next to the inbox icon to switch accounts.
that’s all.
