Setting Up Your UOregon IMAP Account in Mac Mail

To set up your UOregon IMAP account in Mac Mail, follow these steps:

First, send a test email to yourself to ensure that everything is working properly. To do this, click on 'Compose' and address it to yourself, add a subject and body (e.g., 'test'), and then click 'Send.'

Next, update your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) password by entering your current password in the corresponding field.

Verify that your information is correct for both your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) and Incoming Mail Server (IMAP).

In the 'Server Settings' tab, select your UOregon IMAP account on the left-hand side. Enter your Duck ID password in the 'Password' field and your full UO email address in the 'Email Address' field.

For the account type, make sure that IMAP is selected. You may receive a message saying 'Unable to verify account name or password,' which is normal.

In the 'Other Mail Account' window, enter your Duck ID password again in the 'Password' field and select the last option for mail account type. Click 'Continue.'

Save the changes by clicking on the 'Save' button in the bottom right corner of the window.

Clear the 'Password' field and enter your current Duck ID password. Then, click on the 'Server Settings' tab again and select your UOregon Exchange/UOmail account on the left-hand side.

Click on 'Accounts' at the top of this window and make sure that 'Mail' is checked. Click 'Done.'

You may see a box appear with options for which applications you would like to use with this account. Enter your Duck ID password in the 'Password' field, then click 'Sign In' again.

If prompted to configure manually, enter your full UO email address and name as you would like it to appear in your email messages. Select the second option, Exchange, and click 'Continue.'

Finally, click on 'Mail' at the top left corner of your screen to access your account.

It's worth noting that if you are using an older version of macOS, Mac Mail may not be available for use with your account due to Modern Authentication requirements. If this is the case, consider using Outlook for Mac as an alternative desktop application.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully set up your UOregon IMAP account in Mac Mail and start sending and receiving emails.
