How to Set Up Mail for Mac OS X for the First Time

You will need your email server settings to set up your email program. They will have been given to you when you set up your account with future technologies.

First, open Mail.

Once you've opened Mail, click on the menu labeled "Mail," and select "Preferences."

The Welcome to Mail dialog box will appear

In the Full Name field, type your name.

In the Email Address field, type your full futuretk mail address.

In the Incoming mail server field, type in mail.futuretk.com

Click the arrow box on the Account Type pop-up list and choose POP.

In the User Name field, type your username without the @futuretk.com.

In the Password field, type your futuretk password.

In the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) field, type in smtp.futuretk.com.

Click the OK button.

At this point, Mail will attempt to contact the mail server. If it fails, click the Continue button on the warning message that appears to continue with the set up.

Click the No button, unless you want to import email from another mail program.

The Welcome dialog box will appear

Click the No button.

Your account is now up and ready to send/receive emails.
