Detailed Answer:
- Open the Mac Mail app and select Mail → Add Account.
- Enter your email address and continue. If a provider list appears, choose Other Mail Account.
- Enter your display name, full email address, and mailbox password. When manual settings are requested, choose IMAP and enter the incoming and outgoing server information below.
- Complete sign-in, select Mail, and finish. Under Mail → Settings → Accounts → Server Settings, review the connection settings if automatic setup does not work. Older releases call Settings Preferences.
- Username: Your full email address; use your mailbox password.
- IMAP (recommended):
webmail.globalmcs.net, port993, SSL/TLS. - POP3 (alternative):
webmail.globalmcs.net, port995, SSL/TLS. - SMTP:
webmail.globalmcs.net, port465with SSL/TLS, or port587with STARTTLS. - SMTP authentication: Required, using the same full email address and mailbox password as incoming mail.
Use the server hostname supplied for your account. A custom name such as mail.yourdomain.com works only when its DNS and valid certificate are configured for that name. If a certificate warning appears, stop and contact support to correct the hostname or certificate. Do not bypass the warning or disable certificate validation. Enter your password only in your own mail application or verified control panel, never in a support chat.
