To add a new email account

Launch Mail
From the toolbar at the top, select Mail and then Add Account…
Select Other Mail Account…
Select Continue
Enter the required details and select Sign In
- Name – the name that will appear in the ‘From’ field when you send emails
- Email Address – your full email address
- Password – your email password (forgotten passwords cannot be restored but they can be reset in the control panel)
A message will appear that reads ‘Unable to verify account name or password’. This is because Mail has not used your full email address as the Username. Your email address and password may already be populated. Complete the remaining fields as follows:
- Username– your full email address
- Account Type – from the dropdown, select POP or IMAP (this guide defaults to IMAP)
- Incoming Mail Server – has mail. before the domain name e.g. mail.example.com*
- Outgoing Mail Server – has smtp. before the domain name e.g. smtp.example.com*
Select Sign In. A pop up will appear that reads ‘Select the apps you want to use with this account:’. Select Done

Your new email account is now set up. You will see your new account in the list with any other mail accounts.

   The guys at Ooweboo Web Engineers did an amazing job on our website. The took the time to truly understand our vision and how we wanted to convey it. They also contributed a great deal of expertise that vastly improved upon the professionalism of our site. I am confident in recommending them to both small and large businesses.

   We used ooweboo to develop 3 websites and 1 mobile app. Our last website was a complex and highly customised website and Ray and his team did an excellent job. What I appreciate most is their customer support. I highly recommend them.
