Set up macOS Mail

This page is targeted at

  • macOS Mail users

Hint: Mail is an email client included by default in macOS.

Get macOS Mail ready for KUMail by following the steps below.

If you already have other accounts in Mail, be sure to add KUMail as a new, separate account to prevent trouble.

1. On your Mac, open Mail.

2. If you open Mail for the first time, go on to 3.

If you're not a first-time user, from the menu bar, click Mail > Add account.

3. Choose Google and click Continue.

4. Enter your KUMail address and click Next.

5. Sign in with your SPS-ID and password.

After you click Login, you'll be asked to authenticate with a second factor. For more on this multi-factor authentication, see Multi-Factor Authentication User's Guide.

6. Check Mail and click Done.

The Mail app on your Mac is now ready for KUMail.

Note:

  • When you set up for the first time, it may take some time for Mail to retrieve your messages. Don't close the window until it's over.

  • If you want to change your sender address (From address), you must add it to the web version of Gmail in advance.
