Setting up Email with Apple Mail

1. Click on Mail in the upper-left hand corner of your screen and choose Preferences.
2. Click on Accounts, then click the ‘+’ sign in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
3. Fill in your Name, Email Address, and Password for the email address you’d like to set up, then click Continue.
4. Make sure the Account Type is POP.  You may enter a Description for the email account (it’s only a personal reference).  For the Incoming Mail Server, type ‘mail.mlode.com’.  Your username should be your email address, as well.  Finally, enter your Password, and then click Continue.
5. If asked to verify the identity of ‘mail.mlode.com’, click Connect.
6. In the next screen, for Description, you may enter anything you’d like.  For the Outgoing Mail Server, enter ‘mail.mlode.com’, and check the box underneath that says ‘Use only this server’.
7. Leave the rest of this screen blank or unchecked, then click Continue.
8. Click Create on the next screen.
9. Back on the Accounts screen, click on where it says ‘mail.mlode.com’, to the right of Outgoing Mail Server.  Choose Edit Server List.  Then, click on Advanced; choose ‘Use custom port’ and type in 1025 in the blank space to the right.  Finally, make sure that ‘Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)’ is UN-checked, and that Authentication is set to ‘None’, then click OK.
10. Back on the Accounts screen, again, click on Advanced.  Make sure that the port number is 110, here, and that the box labeled ‘Use SSL’ is UN-checked.
11. When finished, click on the Red circle at the top-left of the Accounts screen, and choose ‘Save’.
12. You are finished!
