Apple Mail allows you to manage multiple email accounts from different providers, such as Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and more. Here's how:
Adding a new email account:
- Open Apple Mail on your Mac or iOS device.
- Click on "Mail" in the top menu bar (Mac) or tap on "Mail" on your iOS device.
- Click on "Add Account" (Mac) or tap on "Add Account" (iOS).
- Select the type of account you want to add (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.).
- Enter your email address and password for the new account.
- Click "Continue" (Mac) or tap "Next" (iOS).
- Follow the prompts to set up the account, including setting up your account password, username, and other settings.
Managing multiple email accounts:
Once you've added multiple email accounts, you can switch between them easily:
- On a Mac:
- Click on "Mail" in the top menu bar.
- Select "Accounts" from the dropdown menu.
- Click on the account you want to switch to.
- On an iOS device:
- Tap on "Mail" on your home screen.

Tips and tricks:
- You can set a default account to use when composing a new email. To do this, go to "Mail" > "Preferences" (Mac) or "Settings" > "Mail" (iOS), and select the account you want to use as the default.
- You can also set up rules to automatically forward emails from one account to another. To do this, go to "Mail" > "Preferences" (Mac) or "Settings" > "Mail" (iOS), and select the account you want to set up the rule for.
- If you're using multiple accounts with the same provider (e.g., multiple Gmail accounts), you can use the "Labels" feature to organize your emails. To do this, go to "Mail" > "Preferences" (Mac) or "Settings" > "Mail" (iOS), and select the account you want to set up the label for.
