Knowledgebase

Open up Mail.app and press Command+Comma to invoke the Preferences window.
Switch to the "Accounts" pane and press the + button in the lower-left corner.
Under "Account Information", fill out the following information:
- Account Type: POP or IMAP (what is the difference?)
- Email Address: email-name@your-domain-name.com
- Incoming Mail Server: mail.your-domain-name.com
- Username: email-name@your-domain-name.com
- Password: your email password
- Note that POP uses port 110 and IMAP uses port 143
Select "Add Server..." from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu. Here are the details for it:
- Outgoing Mail Server: mail.your-domain-name.com
- Server port: 26
- Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): NO
- Authentication: password
- User Name: email-name@your-domain-name.com
- Password: your email password
- Dismiss the window by pressing "OK."
Back in the "Accounts" pane, switch to the "Advanced" tab and do not check the box marked "Use SSL" towards the bottom.
