Configuring Mac Mail on the Macintosh

To configure Mac Mail on the Macintosh, perform the following steps:

From the Mail drop-down menu, click Preferences.

From the Accounts dialog box, click Add Account.

Under the Account Information tab, from the Account Type drop-down menu, click to select POP.

From the Description, Email Address and Full Name text boxes, enter a description for the account, your POP e-mail address, and your full name.

From the Incoming Mail Server, User Name and Password text boxes, enter your domain name (e.g.,mail.your-domain.com), and your POP account user name and password.

Click Options.

From the SMTP Server Options dialog box, in the Outgoing Mail Server text box, enter mail. followed by your domain name (e.g., mail.your-domain.com).

Click OK.

From the Advanced tab, click to select Remove copy from server after retrieving a message.

By enabling the Remove copy from server after retrieving a message option, your e-mail client will automatically download your Inbox e-mail messages to your local computer. We recommend you leave this option enabled to prevent old e-mail messages from taking up your hosting account's limited disk space, thereby reducing the chance that your account will experience an overage.

Click OK.
