MacOS POP Mail Setup Guide

If you want to use the email associated with your web hosting service at FastPanda on macOS as an POP account, you can follow the steps below for setup.

To set up your Business Email account on your macOS, follow the steps below.

  • Open the “Mail” app on your Mac device.
  • Click on “Mail > Add Account”.
  • In the window that appears, you will see services like Gmail and iCloud. Click on the “Add Other Account” option at the bottom.
  • On the screen that appears, you will be asked for information about the account you want to set up.
    • Email Address: Enter the full email address you want to set up. Make sure to include the complete domain after the username. Example: abc@yourdomain.com
    • Password: Enter the password for the email account you want to set up.
  • In the “Account Type” section, select “POP”.
  • Incoming Mail Server: mail.domain.extension (Write according to your own domain. For example: mail.xxx.com)
    • If a port number is requested, you can enter “995”.
    • If asked whether to use SSL, you can enable the SSL option.
  • Outgoing Mail Server: mail.domain.extension (Write according to your own domain. For example: mail.xxx.com)
    • If a port number is requested, you can enter “465”.
    • If asked whether to use SSL, you can enable the SSL option.
  • After completing the information, click the “Sign In” button. This will successfully set up your business email. You can now try sending and receiving emails.

If you encounter errors when sending or receiving emails after following the steps above, you may need to review the automatically configured settings. To check the Mail settings, go to “Mail > Settings > Accounts.” Select the email account you set up from the left panel. On the page that opens, go to the “Server Settings” tab. Here you will see the Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server information. At this point:

  • Check that the “Username” field contains the correct email address you want to set up.
  • Make sure your email password is correct in the “Password” field.
  • Ensure that the server address is correct in the “Host Name” field. Server name: mail.domain.extension (Write according to your own domain. For example: mail.xxx.com)
  • If the “Automatically manage connection settings” box is checked, uncheck it and verify the port information.
    • Incoming Mail Server (POP): enter 995 and check the SSL box.
    • Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): enter 465 and check the SSL box.
  • After completing the steps above, you can test sending and receiving emails again.

If you need additional settings for your email account, such as leaving emails on the server or deleting them from the server after a certain number of days, you can select your email address and then go to the “Account Information” tab in the right-hand menu. From the section like “Remove copy from server after retrieving”, you can configure whether emails should be left on the server or after how many days they should be deleted from the server.
