How to Configure Mail for Mac OS X

 

 

 

 

 

The default email program for OS X is called simply "Mail".

 

To set it up, open the Mail application. (in the Dock, or in the Application folder). If this is the first time you have opened Mail, you be guided through a setup wizard which will ask you various questions about your account. All you really need is account name/username, password, and incoming and outgoing mail server name, which is “mail.cybermesa.com” for both.

 

If you want, you can cancel out of this wizard and setup your account manually, like this:
