Hello Space Walk Country!
This post is a step-by-step guide to setting up your Space Walk email on your laptop or desktop computer. This guide is specifically for Mac Mail, the default mail program for the Macintosh operating system.
If you need the guide for Windows/Outlook, you can find that here.
Experience the ease of managing email from a computer instead of mobile device. Trust me, it’s worth the brief moments of frustration.
1. Open Mac Mail. If this is the first time that it has been used, the Setup Assistant will appear. Otherwise, select Mail / Preferences / Accounts / +.
2. Enter the following information:
- Full Name—Enter your first and last name. This is the name that will appear in the From field of messages you send.
- Email Address—Enter your entire email address (e.g., myname@mydomain.com).

3. Click the Continue button and Enter the following information:

5. Enter the following information:

7. When the setup process is done, you will see an Account Summary window that summarizes your connections. Click the Create button.
