There are 200 on the Internet postal services, with the help of which users communicate and send data via email. Each online mailer has its own structure and individual interface, but along with this, programs have been developed that work with mail without a browser.

A person usually has two or three email addresses that he regularly uses, but these accounts are registered on separate online services. Of course, you are allowed to operate with one mailer by setting up personal mailboxes on it. But in this case, the external service does not guarantee that the letter from someone else domain name will go correctly.

In this post I would like to tell you how to set up Mail.app to work with popular email services. The reason for writing the post was questions from readers on Twitter and VKontakte. I hope the article will be useful.

It is impossible for us to make this adjustment.
