Introduction
MacOS users have the option of accessing their UW mailboxes through Apple's Mail application. This gives access to all of the app's integrated features. These directions were created using Mac OS Tahoe (26.4.1). Macs running other versions may display different screens or information.

2. Upon launching, Mac Mail will either display an already configured email account or will present the new account screen. If you already have an existing email account configured, select the Mail menu -> Add Account. Type in your UW email address to get started with adding your account.

4. Fill in with your full UW name and your UW email address.Allow Mac Mail to communicate with Microsoft to detect your account. Click Sign In.
5. Some clients may be presented with the option to use a “Work or School account” or a “Personal account”. Select the option for Work or School.
6. Mac Mail should connect with the UW authentication system, Wyo Login. Enter in your UW credentials. Click Logon. If you are located off campus you may be presented with the secondary 2-factor authentication.
7. Other Mac applications can also use the account. If you wish to allow those applications, such as Contacts, Calendars, Reminders… to integrate with your account, select those applications at this time.
Click Done when finished.
8. Select the security permissions you prefer, allowing Mac Mail to have greater security measures in place if you choose Protect Mail activity.
Your university e-mail should begin synchronizing and displaying. It may take many minutes or even hours to fully synchronize very large mailboxes.
