If any of you happen to use a Mac and want to get your email account setup via Apple Mail rather than go the website and check it from there, this is the tutorial for you.

1. First step, of course, is to open Apple Mail.
2. Then go to the menu bar at the top and click on Mail, then Preferences.
   A window, similar to the one below, should show up.
   
3. Then click on the + icon in the bottom left corner to begin making your account.
4. It should then come up with a window, like the one below. Put in your name, then email address and the password you use to get in your email, then press Continue.
   
5. The next window that comes up should look like the one below. First you choose which type of server you are going to be using. Depending on what type of email service you are using, you are going to choose differently. Mainly, if you are using AOL or Yahoo, it will be POP. If you are in a business place, they might use an Exchange server. For description, just put what the email is. Now for the Incoming Mail Server Address. Depending on which service you use, it will be different. Usually it is pop.youremailservice.com. Then at the bottom put in your username and password you use to access your email usually.
   
6. The next window that pops up should look similar to the one below. For the description (again) just put the email address in there. For outgoing mail server (again) will differ as to what service you are using. Usually it is smtp.youremailservice.com. Now at the bottom, depending on which service you use, you may have to put a username and password or you may not. More information what information you need to put in these boxes can be found on your email services website.
   
7. The next box you may or may not get. It is a box about SSL support. It looks like the one below. If you do get this box, you can just leave it blank and move on.
   
8. The next window is the last step. It basically gives you a summary of all the information you just put in to verify you did it all correctly.
