How to add an Email Account to Mail on Mac
Email. Love it or hate it, we have to use it. This guide will show you how to add an iCloud, Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo or Aol email account using Apple’s Mail app on Mac in three simple steps.
How to add an Email Account to Mail on Mac
- Open the Mail app on your Mac and select “Add Account” by clicking the Mail drop-down menu in the top left hand corner of the screen (near the symbol)
- Select your Mail Provider from the list shown (e.g., iCloud, Exchange, Google or similar)
- Enter your Email Address and Password when prompted and select Sign In
It’s as simple as that. Note that dependant on your mail provider an extra step you may be required to take is signing in to your mailbox using Safari, but in most cases the three steps above will work just fine and if you are required to do this extra step to complete the configuration of your mailbox, the on-screen instructions will guide you through the process.
