Setting up email accounts in Mac Mail

Things you'll need

  • Email account: If you don't have an email account, you'll need to create one in your Toolkit first. For more information, see How to create an email account in your Toolkit.
  • Incoming mail server(POP): ftp.rwdigital.com.au
  • Outgoing mail server(SMTP): see your ISP's SMTP server
  • Email account user name: Your full email address is the user name.
  • Email account password: If you've forgotten your password, you can recover it from the Email setup page in your Toolkit.

Setting up your email account

1. Open your Mac OS X Mail.

2. Click the File menu, and then select Add Account. If you haven't created any email accounts before, the Add Account window pops up automatically.

3. In the Add Account window, enter your name, your email address and your email account password, and then click Continue.

4. In the Incoming Mail Server window, complete the following fields:

Account Type: Choose POP3 or IMAP (see POP3 vs. IMAP).

Description: Enter a description for the server, such as My incoming mail server.

Incoming Mail Server: Enter rwdigital.com.au

User Name: Enter your full email address.

Password: The password should be filled in automatically based on the password you've entered in step 3.

When you're finished, click Continue.

5. In the Outgoing Mail Server window, enter a description for your outgoing mail server (such as My outgoing mail server) and your ISP's SMTP server address, and then click Continue.

Note that you don't need to select the Use Authentication option.

6. In the Outgoing Mail Security window, click the Continue button directly.

Most of the Internet Service Providers (ISP) don't require SSL or Authentication for outgoing email services.

7. In the Account Summary window, review the details you've entered. If everything is correct, click Create.

 

You've now successfully set up your email account in your Mac Mail.
