In this article, we explain how to configure an email account already created in cdmon in the Mail client for MAC in the “Yosemite” system version.

In this case, we use the account “demo@example.com” as an example. This address must be replaced with the name of the email account to be configured.

1.-Previous account configuration

Open the email client and go to the “Accounts” section. Click the + icon, select the “Add other email account” option and click Continue.

Enter the account name, email address and password.

2.-Main account details

On the next screen, select the connection protocol type, IMAP or POP and fill in the following fields:

• Mail server: you must enter the incoming mail server name (e.g.: imap.yourdomain.com).
• User name: you must enter the name of the email account you are configuring.
• Password: you must enter the password of the email account you are configuring.

Once all fields have been entered, click Next.

If a certificate verification message appears, click the Show certificate button, check Always trust '.srv.cat' when connecting to imap.example.com and click Connect.

In the next window, you must fill in the following fields:

• SMTP server: you must enter the outgoing SMTP mail server name (e.g.: smtp.yourdomain.com).
• User name: as the user, you must enter the email account you are configuring.
• Password: you must enter the password of the account you are configuring.

Then click Create.

3.-Advanced email account options

Once the account has been created, you must modify a series of parameters to ensure it works correctly. Open the account settings window, select the account you have configured and go to the Advanced tab. In this tab, make the following changes:

• Disable the option Automatically detect and maintain account settings.
• Enable the Use SSL checkbox and make sure the port is 993.
• Under “Authentication”, select Password.
• Do not check the option Allow insecure authentication.

Go back to the “Account Information” tab and select the Edit SMTP Server List option.

• Disable the option Automatically detect and maintain account settings.
• Disable the Use SSL checkbox and make sure the port is 578.
• Under “Authentication”, select Password.
• Check the option Allow insecure authentication.
• Fill in the "User name" and "Password" fields with the email account you have configured and its password.

Important: If your domain is registered with cdmon and uses cdmon DNS, and you want your outgoing mail (SMTP) to be encrypted (SSL), you must change the SMTP port to 465 and enable the "Use SSL" option.

After accepting the changes, your account will be configured correctly.
