Apple Mail: Setting up Workspace Email
Apple® Mail lets you check your Workspace Email accounts on your desktop.
This article uses information from Mac OS X 10.9.5, but previous versions use similar settings.
NOTE: After adding multiple email accounts to Apple Mail, you can toggle between them using the sidebar in the left.
BEFORE YOU START: To set up Apple Mail with your email, you need to know your POP or IMAP email server settings and ports. To find them, go to the Email Setup Center and write down the information that displays under Email Server Settings.
Apple Mail 10.9 and greater will not set up POP accounts with our Workspace Email. If your account does not offer IMAP support, we recommend upgrading to an account that does, using another email client, or using our Web-based email.
To Use Apple Mail with Your Email
- Launch Mail.
- From the Mail menu, select Add Accounts.
