To get started, open the Mail application on your Mac laptop or computer. If this will be your first email account added into the Mail application you'll see a pop up that asks you to Choose a Mail account provider... Choose the last option for Other Mail Account...
On the next screen you will Add a Mail Account. Enter your Name, Email Address, and Password. Click the Sign In button after you have entered this information on the screen.
Often times, macOS will go to the next screen, but show a warning that it was Unable to verify account name or password. Disregard this warning and enter the additional information required on this next screen.
In this example, for the Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server we're going to use the server's hostname ph100.peopleshostshared.com. Remember, your Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server may be different from the screenshot below. Please check your Welcome email for your server's hostname.
Email Address: demo@peopleshost.com
User Name: demo@peopleshost.com
Password: Password you created for this email account
Account Type: IMAP
Incoming Mail Server: YOUR SERVER'S HOSTNAME
Outgoing Mail Server: YOUR SERVER'S HOSTNAME
If you are going to be accessing email from multiple computers and devices we highly recommend that you use IMAP as your Account Type.
Click the Sign In button when you have completed filling out the required fields on the screen. You have no successfully added your email account on your Mac using the Mail application.
