Set Up Your E-Mail Accounts
The Mail app enables you to send and receive e-mail messages easily using your existing e-mail accounts. If you add an iCloud account to your user account during initial setup or in System Preferences, macOS can automatically set up e-mail in Mail. After setup, you can add other e-mail accounts manually. For some accounts, you need only your e-mail address and your password.
