The steps

  1. Open Mail from your Dock or Applications folder.

  2. In the menu bar, go to Mail → Add Account (or File → Add Account on older macOS versions).

  3. Select Other Mail Account… from the list of providers and click Continue.

  4. Enter your name, your full email address, and your email password. Click Sign In.

  5. Apple Mail will try to configure the account automatically. It will likely fail to verify — that’s normal. Look for fields to enter server details manually and enter ax.email for both the Incoming Mail Server and the Outgoing Mail Server.

  6. Make sure IMAP is selected as the account type, then click Sign In.

  7. Mail will ask which apps to use this account with. Tick Mail (and Notes if you’d like) and click Done.

  8. Your inbox will appear in the Mail sidebar and start syncing. On a busy mailbox the first sync can take a few minutes.

Sending not working?

If mail arrives but won’t send, go to Mail → Settings → Accounts, select your account, click the Server Settings tab, and check the outgoing (SMTP) section. Make sure:

  • Host Name is ax.email
  • Use TLS/SSL is ticked
  • Port is 465
  • Your username (full email address) and password are filled in

The outgoing server stores its own login details separately from the incoming server.
