  4. If any settings are changed, select the Save button when finished. The account will verify the settings. If there are errors double check the spelling, retype the password in both the Incoming Mail Server section (top half of the dialog box) and the Outgoing Mail Server section (bottom half) and select Save again.
  5. After saving changes, select the Mail beside the Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen then select Quit Mail from the Menu. Reopen Mail, and make a round-trip test that the mail is working by sending an email to the same address and verify that it arrives.
  6. If there is a persistent error sending email, verify that the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) ports match those shown in 3.3-5 above.
  7. If mail still doesn’t work, contact OlympusNet support.

Additional Options

  1. On the Account Information tab, the Description field can be changed to a name that best describes the account.
    In a POP account, select Remove copy from server after retrieving a message then choose the period on the next line. Setting it to After one week leaves the mail on the server for one week to allow IMAP devices such as phones and tablets to view the mail for that period.
