The topic of this article is supported in its entirety by our customer support department.

Mac OS X comes with a built in email program called Mail.

To configure OS X Mail:

First, open the Mail application

Go to the Mail menu and select Preferences...

Click on Create Account

Enter information into the following fields:

  • Account Type - Select “POP Account”.
  • Description - Enter a name for the mailbox
  • Email Address - Enter your email address
  • Full Name - Enter the name that people will see when they receive a message from you
  • Host Name - Enter your incoming mail server, mail.yoursitedomain.com
  • Username - Your username is your full email address
  • Password - Enter the password for the account
  • SMTP Host - This is that of mail.yoursitedomain.com as well. However, currently many ISP’s block access to this port and you have trouble with outgoing mail function you should enter the smtp-server provided to you by your ISP

Click OK

Now that Mail is setup, you are ready to begin sending and receiving email using your domain’s email servers.
