How do I set up Mac OS X Mail?
Open Mail.
On the Mail menu click Preferences. Then click Accounts.
Click the Add (+) button to add an account.
Choose POP from the Account type pop-up menu.
On the "Description" line fill in a name or description that you would like to associate with this account. This is used by Mail for display purposed so can be set to anything.
On the "Email Address:" line fill in your email address.
On the "Full Name:" line fill in your name : This can be ANYTHING.
On the "Incoming Mail Server:" line fill in your full domain name, with the extension (yourdomain.com).
On the "User Name:" line fill in your mailbox username. For users other than the master account user, the mailbox user name must be set to the full user@yourdomain.com designation for that mailbox. This is a commonly made mistake, if you are having connection issues, check to make sure that your username is correct!
On the "Password:" line enter the password for the mailbox. If you need to reset your password, give us a call, we'll be glad to help: 407-830-4550.
In the pop-up menu next to "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):" choose add server. The SMTP Server Options window will appear.
On the line for "Outgoing Mail Server:" fill in your domain name with the extension (yourdomain.com) unless your ISP requires the use of their mail server to send mail (MSN, Earthlink/Mindspring, and AOL are several examples; there are others). If you have issues with this, contact your ISP and see what their outgoing server settings should be: you may have luck googling for the information as well.
In the pop-up menu for "Authentication:" choose "Password".
On the "User Name:" line enter mailbox username. For users other than the master account user, the mailbox user name must be set to the full user@yourdomain.com designation for that mailbox.
On the "Password:" enter the password for the mailbox. Click OK.
The Mail preferences window can now be closed. You should be good to go. Still having issues? Call us and we'll do our best to help, or fill out our tech support help form here.
