Hello David,

• To add a new account on a MacBook air, you will need to choose File and then Add Account to so as to open the Accounts Assistant will guide you through the configuration process.
• An alternative will be to use the following steps:
• You will choose mail, and then Preferences, and after that click the Accounts button to open the accounts window.
• Click the Add button.
• You will then type your full name in the Name Field, and after that press Tab.
• Type the email address.
• Type the password in the password field, and then click continue.
• Next you will click on the Account Type menu that will pop up, and after that select the protocol type you wish to use for your account.
• Type a name in the description field and the  press Tab.
• Next type the incoming mail server address in the mail serve box and then click on continue.
• After that click the authentication pop-up menu and then select the authentication scheme for the incoming server- this will be done on the incoming mail security.
• Click continue, and then locate the outgoing mail server sheet and type a description for the server, and then press Tab,
• Go to the Incoming Mail Server text box and type the incoming mail server address.
• In the event that the ISP service you are using requires your e-mail application to authenticate the connection,  you will have to choose the Use Authentication check box and type the username and password
• Click Continue on the Account Summary sheet and then click Done on the Conclusion sheet.
