Apple mail imap server settings
To set up Apple Mail to use an IMAP server, you'll need to enter the following settings:
Incoming Mail Server (IMAP)
- Host Name: imap.yourmailprovider.com (replace with your email provider's IMAP server address)
- Username: your full email address (e.g., [yourname]@yourmailprovider.com)
- Password: your email account password
- Port: 993 (or the port number specified by your email provider)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
- Host Name: smtp.yourmailprovider.com (replace with your email provider's SMTP server address)
- Username: your full email address (e.g., [yourname]@yourmailprovider.com)
- Password: your email account password
- Port: 587 (or the port number specified by your email provider)
Additional Settings
- Authentication: Password
- Use SSL: Yes (or the encryption method specified by your email provider)
- Use Authentication: Yes
Here's an example of what the settings might look like in Apple Mail:
Incoming Mail Server
- Host Name: imap.gmail.com
- Username: [email protected]
- Password: yourpassword
- Port: 993
- Authentication: Password
- Use SSL: Yes
- Use Authentication: Yes
Outgoing Mail Server
- Host Name: smtp.gmail.com
- Username: [email protected]
- Password: yourpassword
- Port: 587
- Authentication: Password
- Use SSL: Yes
- Use Authentication: Yes
Remember to replace the example settings with your actual email provider's settings. If you're unsure about your email provider's IMAP and SMTP server addresses, you can usually find this information in your email provider's settings or documentation.
