How to Add a Mail Account on Your Mac

Adding a mail account on your Mac is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps. In this article, we will walk you through the process of setting up a mail account on your Mac using the built-in Mail app.

To start, open the Mail app on your Mac and select 'Add Account' from the menu bar. If you've used Mail to create email accounts before, you can skip this step and go directly to the next one.

In the Email Address and User Name boxes, type in your email address and password. Make sure to enter your correct credentials, as incorrect information may prevent the setup process from completing successfully.

If you see an 'Unable to verify account name or password' message, select 'Next' to enter your settings manually. This will allow you to configure your account settings manually.

Once you've entered your email address and password, you'll be prompted to choose which apps you want to use with this account. You can select Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, and Notes to connect with your UR/URMC account.

If you're running Mac OS X version 10.10 or later, you can also set up POP or IMAP access to your Exchange email account. This will allow you to manage your email account on your Mac using the built-in Mail app.

If after repeating these steps, Mail still isn't able to set up your account automatically, wait a few minutes or hours and then repeat the process. If the issue persists, refer to the 'What else do I need to know?' section of this article for additional troubleshooting tips.

By following these simple steps, you should be able to add a mail account on your Mac using the built-in Mail app. With this setup, you'll be able to access your email account and manage your contacts, calendar, reminders, and notes from one convenient location.
