  > Apple Mail Setup

This page will walk you through the configuration of MacOS X's AppleMail. The walkthrough is based on MacOS X 10.2, but the settings should be the same for all versions of MacOS X.

The first time you open AppleMail, you may be prompted for account configuration information. If not, select "Preferences" from the "Mail" menu once you've opened the program, click on "Accounts" and click "Add Account." Enter your name and email address. The incoming mail server is a POP server, and the address is "pop.pressenter.com." You will need to enter your PressEnter login name & password for "User Name" and "Password," and "smtp.pressenter.com" for your "Outgoing Mail Server."

If you're not prompted for the account configuration information, you'll see this screen for "Preferences," and you'll select "Add Account."

The "Account Information" screen is where your account settings are stored. Make sure that your "Email Address" and "Full name" are accurate. The "Incoming Mail" server address should be "pop.pressenter.com," and your PressEnter login name & password should be entered for "User Name" and "Password." The "Outgoing Mail Server" should be set to "smtp.pressenter.com."

Click on the "Advanced" tab at the top of the screen. Under "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message," set the drop-down menu to "Right away" from "After 7 days." Click "OK" to save the settings, and then close the Preferences window. AppleMail is now configured to send & receive mail.
