Open up "Mail" from the dock. Drop down the MAIL MENU and select PREFERENCES. A similar window as shown below will open.

In the General Tab, we recommend checking for new mail: Manually

Click the Accounts Tab.

Add a new account by clicking on the "+" in the lower-left part of the Accounts window. If no account is yet set up, use the same information shown below in the OS X E-mail initial setup screen.

Account Type... POP
Description... Syracuse.Net E-Mail
E-mail address... userid@syracuse.net
(this is the same as your dial-up account name, in most cases!)
Full Name... Enter the name you wish to have displayed in your e-mails
Incoming Mail Server... mail.syracuse.net
User Name... userid
Password... your password
(this is the same as your dial-up account password, in most cases!)

Click the Server Settings button

Authentication... Password
User Name... userid
Password... your password

Click the OK Button
Click the "close box" and save your changes.

In the Advanced Settings, it is recommended that "Remove copy from server...." be checked, otherwise your mailbox on the mail server will fill up and once it fills up all other incoming email will get "bounced back" to the sender.

Should there be other questions not covered here feel free to e-mail them to Syracuse.Net, Inc. at macintosh@syracuse.net
