  5. Enter your account details
    • "Account name" is a free-form field for giving the account in entourage a meaningful name to yourself, i.e. "Home" or "Work" email.
    • The Name/E-mail address should be indicitive of how you wish emails sent to appear to the receiver.
    • The Account ID will be your mailbox' username.

    • POP server should take the form of mail.your domain - i.e. in this example our domain is anchor.net.au, so the mail server is mail.anchor.net.au.

    • Saving the password in the MacOS keychain will prevent you from being prompted for your password every time you access your mail.
    • SMTP server should be set to your ISP's outgoing mail server.
