How do I set up the email address in Apple Mail?

If you haven’t already created an email address, you can do so in How do I create an email address? explained.

If you have created an email address in the hosted Exchange, we can only guarantee the installation in Outlook.

Once you have created an email address, you will still need the credentials sheet to set up the email address in Apple Mail.
If you no longer have this, click on the server center at the top of the myhosttech customer center
This can be downloaded again in the settings of the corresponding hosting.
The information on the access data sheet in the “Mail server settings” section is important.
