How do I set up my e-mail account on Mail from OSX?

To add your mail account to Mail in OSX, follow these steps:

1. Open the mail application.
2. In the menu bar, navigate to "Mail" and then to "Add account...".
3. Here, select "Other mail account" and click continue.
4. Enter the following information here:
   Name: Enter the name here as you want your recipients to see you.
   Email address: Enter the email address of the account you want to add here.
   Password: Enter the password set for this account.
   
   
5. Should a connection to the server fail you will get the next screen with the error message "verification of account name or password failed".
   Here are again new data that can be entered:
   Username: This is the same as the e-mail address.
   Account type: Here you can specify the desired protocol you want to use. Should you want to learn the differences in these 2 protocols we have written a separate article for this. If you are not interested, IMAP is a good protocol to use.
   Incoming, and outgoing mail server: Here you specify the mail server of the account. This is default mail.domeinnaam.nl.
   Now click Log in to log in.
   
   
6. Select the desired apps you want to use with this account and click Done.

You can now use the Mail app to access your mail.
