Msn settings for mac mail

To set up Microsoft Exchange (MSN) settings for Mac Mail, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a new account in Mac Mail

  1. Open Mac Mail on your Mac.
  2. Click on "Mail" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + comma).
  3. Click on the "Accounts" tab.
  4. Click the "+" button at the bottom left corner of the window to create a new account.
  5. Select "Exchange" as the account type.

Step 2: Enter your MSN settings

  1. In the "Account Information" section, enter the following information:
    • "Full Name": Your name as you want it to appear in your emails.
    • "Email Address": Your MSN email address (e.g., [your_email_address]@hotmail.com).
    • "Username": Your MSN email address (e.g., [your_email_address]@hotmail.com).
    • "Password": Your MSN email password.
  2. In the "Server Settings" section, enter the following information:
    • "Server": outlook.office365.com (or outlook.com if you're using a Hotmail account).
    • "Port": 443 (or 587 if you're using a Hotmail account).
    • "Use SSL": Select "Yes" to enable SSL encryption.
  3. Click "Continue" to save your changes.

Step 3: Configure additional settings (optional)

  1. If you want to use IMAP instead of Exchange, select "IMAP" as the account type in Step 1.
  2. If you want to use a different port or encryption method, you can modify the "Port" and "Use SSL" settings in Step 2.
  3. If you're using a Hotmail account, you may need to enable "Less secure apps" in your Hotmail account settings to allow Mac Mail to access your account.

Step 4: Verify your account settings

  1. Click on the "Mail" menu and select "Test Account" to verify your account settings.
  2. If your account settings are correct, you should see a success message.

That's it! Your MSN account should now be set up in Mac Mail. If you encounter any issues, you can try troubleshooting or contacting Microsoft support for assistance.
