Apple Mail (OS X Tiger 10.4) email setup tutorial

Before you can configure email software to send and receive emails from our servers, you must

1. Purchase a cPanel or Cloud hosting subscription service.
2. Create an email account on our cPanel or Cloud hosting servers.

Once you have done this, you can configure your email software to connect to the email account you created on our servers.

Note: The default Apple Mail (or Mac Mail) application has several known issues, including not saving settings during setup, losing settings randomly and having issues with connecting several devices to the same email account. Unfortunately these are intermittent issues with the software itself, if you encounter these we recommend switching to Thunderbird or Outlook for Mac.
