How to Setup dazil e-mail with Mac Mail (Based on version 2.1 for Mac OS 10.4 Tiger)

  1. Select Mail/Preferences
  2. Click the Accounts button, located at the top of the window
  3. To add a new account, click on the plus (+) button, located in the bottom left corner of the window, to launch the Setup Assistant
  4. Click the Account Type drop down menu, and then choose POP
  5. Enter the following information:
    • Account Description – Use the phrase that will help you identify this account, such as Home, Work and  so forth
    • Full Name – Enter your first and last name. This is the name that will appear in the From field of the messages you send, right ahead of your email address. A company name can also be used, if you prefer
    • Email Address – Enter your entire email address (e.g., myname@mydomain.com), using all lower case letters
  6. Click Continue to proceed to the next window
  7. Under Incoming Mail Server, do the following:
    • Incoming Mail Server – Enter the POP server name: mail.dazil.com
    • User Name – Enter your entire email address (e.g., myname@mydomain.com), using all lower letters
    • Password – Enter the password you created for this email address
  8. Mac Mail will now verify your address to make sure the settings are correct. This is a somewhat slow process. If there’s an error, recheck your information. Otherwise, just click Continue to proceed to the next window
  9. Under Outgoing Mail Server, do the following:
    • In the Outgoing Mail Server box, enter the outgoing (SMTP) server: Your ISP’s mail server (eg. shawmail for Shaw, smtp.telus.net for Telus)
    • Click the Use Authentication checkbox
    • In the User Name box, enter your entire email address (e.g., myname@mydomain.com), using all lowercase letters
    • In the Password box, enter the password for your email account
  10. Click the Continue button, and Mail will check the connection to make sure if succeeds. But be patient, as it may take several minutes for Mail to finish this final stage of the configuration process. If there’s an error in verifying the setup, simply click Go Back to recheck your settings to make sure everything is correct
  11. When the setup process is done, you’ll see a window that summarizes your connections. Click Done to finish the setup
  12. If you have more accounts to configure, just repeat the above steps, starting with a click of the plus (+) sign in the Accounts window, and you will be taken through the same set of setup screens
