How to Setup Email on Mac Mail
Macintosh computers are not as common as Windows computers, which is why a lot of users find themselves becoming confused while trying to set up some of its features. One such feature is the Mac Mail, which is there to make it more convenient for the Macintosh computer users to access their emails from the Web Hosting Hub. Setting up the Mac Mail can get a bit tricky, but the utility it provides is well worth the effort. However, you will need to have a bit of a technical know-how to properly configure your Mac Mail.

The first thing that you need to do is to open the Mac Mail on your computer. A “Welcome to Mac Mail” screen will appear. It is basically a wizard that will guide you through the process of setting up your email. You will be requested to fill out the three empty fields being displayed in the window with your name, email address and password. Remember to provide your email password in the appropriate field instead of the cPanel password. Once you have filled out the empty fields with the required information, proceed forward by clicking the “Continue” button in the lower-right corner of the welcome screen.

The next screen will be named “Incoming Mail Server” and will require you to specify how you want to get the email from the server. You will need to specify the “Account Type,” choosing between POP and IMAP. Once you have selected the account type, write a short description of the account in the “Description” field, e.g. “Zane’s Email.” Fill out the “Incoming Mail Server” with the domain where you want Mac Mail to get the emails from. It should look something like “mail.yourdomainname.com.” In the “User Name” field, enter your complete email address and enter your password in the “Password” field. Once you have provided the required information, click the “Continue” button.

The next screen “Outgoing Mail Server” will pretty much ask you to provide the same information that you provided in the previous screen, i.e. “Incoming Mail Server.” Fill out the empty fields with the required information such as “User Name” and “Password.” Check the “Use Authentication” and “Use only this server” boxes before clicking “Continue.”
