Configuring your hosting email account in Apple Mail allows you to send and receive messages directly from your desktop or MacBook. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to get started.

First, you will need your email account credentials from your hosting provider. This typically includes:

• Email Address: Your full email address (e.g., name@yourdomain.com).
• Password: The password you set for this specific email account.
• Mail Server Settings: Incoming (IMAP/POP3) and Outgoing (SMTP) server addresses. Common examples are mail.yourdomain.com or imap.yourdomain.com.
• Port Numbers: Standard ports are 993 for IMAP (with SSL) and 465/587 for SMTP.

To add the account in Apple Mail:

1. Open Apple Mail and go to Mail > Add Account....
2. Select "Other Mail Account" and click Continue.
3. Enter your full name, email address, and password.
4. Apple Mail will attempt to auto-find settings. If it fails, you will need to manually enter the incoming and outgoing mail server details provided by your host.
5. Ensure SSL is enabled for security and that the authentication is set to Password.

If emails are not sending, double-check your SMTP settings and authentication. Receiving issues often stem from incorrect IMAP/POP3 details or port numbers. Always verify these settings with your hosting provider's support documentation.

Once configured, your hosting email will sync seamlessly with Apple Mail, keeping your communications organized and accessible across your Apple devices.
