how to set up a new email account on mac

Then you'll need to put in your email address and password, but after that it will probably prompt you for more information like the incoming and outgoing mail server addresses. If you have an account that does not appear on the list you can click add other account and then choose mail account. Now if you have one of the accounts here on this list then the setup is really easy. To do that you can click this add account button. However you get to it, this shows a list of all of the accounts that you already have linked. So I'll go back to system settings, on the left side I'll scroll down and select the category for internet accounts. Here in the mail application you can go to the mail menu and choose accounts or you can get to the same thing by going to system settings. If you don't see that panel and you do need to set up an account, or if you do have an account linked but you need to set up a second account, you can still get to that prompt. Now if you launch the mail application and you do not already have an account set up, then you will see a panel prompting you to link an account. And this is what it looks like when you already have an account set up. It's called mail, and I have a shortcut for it in the dock.

So I'm going to quit system settings, and now I want to launch the mail application that comes with macOS.

If you have this, then you have one account already set up. And I can see that it includes synchronization of mail, contacts, calendars, and also reminders and notes and all of those are already turned on. I already have my iCloud account set up here and I can scroll through the included features. Since I'm signed into an Apple ID account I can see my name at the top, I can select that. So I'll go to the main system menu to system settings. You can check that by going to system settings. First, if you use iCloud, then you may already have your email account set up. I'm assuming you already have an account that you can link to your computer. Now I'm not going to show you how to create a new email account. To work with the mail application in macOS and to use some of the features of the address book and calendar, you need to have an email account that you can link to your Mac.
