  2. Within Mail, click Mail on the top left. Then select Add Account from the dropdown menu

  3. In the pop-up window, select Other Mail Account and click Continue

  4. On the next screen, enter the following information:

    • Name: Enter your first and last name

    • Email Address: Enter your email address

    • Password: Enter your mailbox password

  5. Click Sign In

  6. You will see an alert that says Unable to verify account name or password. Along with this alert, you will see more fields that require additional info. Fill in the following details:

    • Email Address: Enter your email address

    • User Name: Enter your email address again

    • Password: Your mailbox password

    • Account Type: IMAP

    • Incoming Mail Server: imap.us.appsuite.cloud

    • Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.us.appsuite.cloud
      Important Note: Apple Mail will usually clear the User Name field after entering the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server fields. Ensure your User Name is filled in with your email address after entering the server information and before clicking sign in

  7. Click Sign In

  8. Click Finish
    Next, we will make sure our SMTP server settings are correct, as Apple Mail tends to change them automatically during setup

  9. Within Mail, click Mail on the top left. Then select Preferences

  10. Select the Accounts tab at the top of the window, then select your IMAP email account from the left pane

  11. Click on the Server Settings tab, next to Mailbox Behaviors

  12. Under Outgoing Mail Account, Uncheck the automatically manage connection settings. (Make sure you do it under SMTP, and not IMAP, as they have the same checkbox) this will unlock a new area below

  13. Change the Port Number to 587

  14. Close the Accounts window

  15. Finally, go back to the Mail app. Your mail should begin downloading shortly if it hasn’t already.
