To set up email as an IMAP Email Account on Mac Mail, just follow the easy steps below.
Important: If Mac Mail is trying to find the outgoing server for more than 30 seconds, simply click "Cancel" and then "Continue" again. You will then be at Step 4.
You should also double-check the port numbers in your configuration.
These port settings are extremely important and should be verified. Mac Mail sometime selects ports in a seemingly random way without allowing users to specify them during account setup.
If you’re having trouble with SSL from your computer, you might want to change it to uncheck SSL and enter 143 as the Port Number. Certain Mac Mail clients have trouble with SSL email that is difficult to troubleshoot.
