This page explains how to manually set up the Apple Mail program to send and receive email for a mailbox that you’ve created.
Before you continue, you should enter your email address (the address you want to set up in Mail) in the yellow box at the top of this page. Entering your email address makes sure that the instructions below are correct.
Most people do not need to manually configure Apple Mail. It’s usually quicker and simpler to automatically set it up using a profile. We provide these instructions in case you have trouble with the profile method.
These instructions are for the version of Mail included with Mac OS X 10.11 “El Capitan” (from 2015) and later. We have separate instructions for older versions such as Mac OS X 10.10 “Yosemite”.
1. Start the “Mail” program.
If you haven’t previously added an account to Mail, a window will automatically appear asking you to “choose a Mail account provider”. If this happens, skip to step 2.
If you don’t see this window, click Mail, then Add Account:

2. Choose the provider.
Choose the Other Mail Account... option:
Then click Continue.
3. Enter your name, email address, and password:
Enter these settings:
Name: | The name that other people will see when you send them mail, such as “George Washington” or “Joan of Arc”. |
Email Address: | Enter your email address. This must be the email address of the mailbox you created in our account management control panel. |
Password: | The email password you chose when you created this email address. Remember that your email password is not necessarily the same as your master account password. |
The window should look like this:
After doing this, click Sign In.
Apple Mail will show a message saying “Unable to verify account name and password”, asking for more details. This is normal.
4. Enter the server settings.
Enter these settings on the “Unable to verify account name and password” screen:
Email Address: | your email address |
User Name: | your email address (all lowercase) |
Password: | your email password (this should be filled in from the previous screen) |
Account Type: | IMAP (our servers also support POP if you prefer it, but IMAP is recommended) |
Incoming Mail Server: | mail.tigertech.net |
Outgoing Mail Server: | mail.tigertech.net |
The window should look like this:
Click Sign In again when finished.
5. Select the apps for this account
The Mail program may ask you to “select the apps you wish to use for this account”:
If it does so, make sure that at least Mail is checked.
Whether or not you check “Notes” is up to you. If you do that, the “Notes” application on your Mac will store them in a folder of this mailbox. If you want to keep things simple, we suggest you make sure it’s not checked.
Click Done when finished.
Setup is complete
You’re finished with the basic Apple Mail setup. It should now work for sending and receiving mail.
Setting “Sent” and “Trash” folders
Once the basic account has been set up, there’s an additional step needed to keep Mail folders in sync with other programs or devices that might connect to the mailbox, assuming you chose the recommended IMAP setting (POP doesn’t support server folders at all).
Our Apple Mail Folders page has more information.

If you use Apple’s Mail application, there will probably come a time when you’ll want to move your email messages and email account to another Mac. Maybe you just purchased a new Mac. Or maybe you’ve kept your personal email at work, and you now want to move those emails and that account to your Mac at home. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to move your mail!

We’ll assume that your email account is located on only one Mac, and that you do not yet have an email account set up in Apple Mail on the Mac you’ll be moving your email to. Here’s how to do it:
You will need to copy some files off the Mac that already contains the email account. To do this, you can use an external hard drive or USB flash drive to transfer the files directly from one Mac to the other. Connect the drive to your Mac now.
The files are located in your User Library. Open this folder now.
- Mac OS X 10.6 and earlier: Here’s where you want to go: Macintosh HD → Users → Your User Folder → Library.
- Mac OS X 10.7 and later: See How to Open the Library Folder on Your Mac.
Now you need to copy the Mail folder, as shown below. (Yes, the entire folder.) To do so, hold down the Option key and drag the Mail folder to your external drive. That will copy your mail while leaving the original files right where they are.
You should also copy the preferences file for Mail.app. Here’s where you can find it: Macintosh HD → Users → Your User Folder → Library → Preferences. The name of the file is
com.apple.mail.plist
.Disconnect the external drive, and then reconnect to the new Mac. Copy and paste the Mail folder and the preferences file to the Library and Preferences folder. Make sure that the folder and file are in the correct location!
If you now open Apple Mail on your second Mac, it will look exactly the same as it did on the other Mac. This means your accounts, messages, and folders have all been moved to the second Mac. Good work!
