How do I setup email on Mac OS?

All Apple Mac computers running Mac OS come with Mail, a built-in email client which you can setup your KCOM email account onto.

Setting up Mail

1. Open Mail by clicking the stamp icon on the dock. This is normally located at the bottom of your screen
    
2. Select Mail on the menu bar at the top and then select Accounts from the drop down menu
   
   
    
3. You now need to choose the type of account you are setting up. Scroll right to the bottom and select Add Other Account
   
   
    
4. Now select Mail account
   
   
    
5. A box will appear at the top of the window where you need to fill in the following information:
    
   • Name: Enter your full name
   • Email address: Enter your full KCOM email address (eg: kcomuser@kcomuser.karoo.co.uk)
   • Password: Enter your KCOM password
      
   When you have finished, select Sign In.
   
   
    
6. You will see an error message stating that it was unable to verify account name of password. Some extra boxes will appear allowing you to enter more settings:
    
   • Email Address: This should already be filled in from before
   • User Name: Enter your full KCOM email address for your username
   • Password: This should already be filled in from before

   When you have finished, select Sign In.
   
   
    
7. If a message pops up saying that your password couldn't be sent securely to pop.karoo.co.uk, imap.karoo.co.uk or smtp.karoo.co.uk, just select Continue.
