Step 3: Enter Account Information

• Enter your email address and password in the corresponding fields.
• If you're setting up an iCloud account, you'll need to enter your Apple ID and password.
• If you're setting up an Exchange account, you'll need to enter your Exchange server address, username, and password.
• If you're setting up an IMAP or POP account, you'll need to enter your email server address, username, and password.

• Set the "Use SSL" checkbox to "On" if your email provider requires SSL encryption.

Step 5: Save Changes

• Click on the "Save" button to save your changes.
• Apple Mail will attempt to connect to your email account and retrieve your email settings.

Step 6: Verify Account Settings

• Check your email account settings by clicking on the "Verify" button next to the account name.
