To set up Microsoft Exchange (MSN) settings for Mac Mail, follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a new account in Mac Mail
- Open Mac Mail on your Mac.
- Click on "Mail" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + comma).
- Click on the "Accounts" tab.
- Click the "+" button at the bottom left corner of the window to create a new account.
- Select "Exchange" as the account type.
Step 2: Enter your MSN settings
- 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.
- 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.
- Click "Continue" to save your changes.
Step 3: Configure additional settings (optional)
- If you want to use IMAP instead of Exchange, select "IMAP" as the account type in Step 1.
- If you want to use a different port or encryption method, you can modify the "Port" and "Use SSL" settings in Step 2.
- 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
- Click on the "Mail" menu and select "Test Account" to verify your account settings.
- 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.
