Note: To access an Exchange server with a Mac from outside the organization’s
network, confirm with the server administrator that port 443 is open and Exchange
Web Services (EWS) is enabled.
You’ve now configured Mail for use with Exchange. You can confirm this by checking
your email and sending email to a colleague from your Exchange account.
Email with POP and IMAP Servers
If your organization uses a non-Windows server to administer email services you can
easily configure Mail for access. Common mail server protocols include Post Office
Protocol (POP) and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), which allow client
computers to access messages on the mail server, and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP) for sending messages. OS X Lion includes the “Automatically set up account”
option. This option configures email settings for many popular email service providers.
Note: If this option is not present, it means the email service provider you entered is
not recognized. Make sure the domain (the part after the “@” symbol) is spelled
correctly. If the domain is spelled correctly, you’ll need to manually configure the
account in Mail.
Configure Mail to automatically connect to common email services:
1. Open Mail.
2. If the “Welcome to Mail” assistant does not appear, choose Add Account from the File
menu.
3. Fill in the full name, email address, and password you received from your email service
provider.
4. Select “Automatically set up account.”
5. Click “Create” to complete the process.
Manually configure Mail to connect to common email services:
Before proceeding with manual email setup, you’ll need to obtain your user name,
password, account type, security settings, and incoming and outgoing mail servers
from your email service provider.
1. Open Mail.
2. If the “Welcome to Mail” assistant does not appear, choose File > Add Account.
3. Fill in the full name, email address, and password from your email service provider.
4. Deselect “Automatically set up account” if it’s enabled. Click Continue.
5. Choose the proper Account Type. This is the protocol the email service uses such as
IMAP, POP, etc.
6. Give the account a useful description.
7. Enter your Incoming Mail Server, User Name and Password. Click Continue.
8. If prompted, enter your Incoming Mail Security settings. Click Continue.
9. For Outgoing Mail Server, choose a useful description.
