The Mac OSX Operating System comes with a pre-installed application called as Apple Mail which offers you with some useful features including offline email access and easy email management. Lets get started using this application and show you some useful options related to it.<\/p>\n

The program is available under the Dock and you can find it with the \u201cstamp\u201d type icon on it. The application once opened would show you the following screen with no emails. You need to setup the accounts which you would like to Sync with your device and then the emails would show up.<\/p>\n

Next you would get a small window showing you with numerous options, here click on the second tab named “Accounts”. On the left there are accounts which you have already setup on your Mac OS X, while you can also add new ones. Click on the + button on the bottom left area to add a new account.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once you have entered you email account which could either be a Apple iCloud, Google, Aol, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, Linked in, Vimeo, Flickr or your self hosted domain email, you would see some additional settings. You will generally get the Incoming Mail Server, Outgoing Mail Server [SMTP], IMAP, Port etc detailed automatically from the email services but if you have a email at your own domain then you need to get the above mentioned details to setup the mail application.<\/p>\n

How to Show Gmail Labels & Folders<\/h3>\n

Few email services offer you to tag your emails under folders or labels and you can see the same in the mail app too. Just click on the \u201cShow\u201d button on the \u201cInbox\u201d app which would unhide all the options listed on the left section.<\/p>\n

\"Show<\/p>\n

This allows you to not only Send or Reply but also forward the email also as an attachment and redirect the same. You can easily find all the regularly required options in the context menu itself.<\/p>\n

How to Attach a File as an Attachment<\/h3>\n

At times you would be interested in sending some music file or some text document as an attachment with your normal message and this is when you would need this option on the mail application. When you are on the Compose Window, you would find a small Icon which looks like an \u201cPaper Clip\u201d which you need to click, following which you would be taken to the selection window where you can select the file you wish to send.<\/p>\n

How to Add Signature to Emails Sent<\/h3>\n

Its pretty easy to create a default signature for every different email account you add to the Mail Application. Just click on the Preferences option from the Menu and then you would find a option of \u201cSignatures\u201d under the different tabs. Here you can select the account for which you would like to setup and then click on the + symbol. It would show you the first signature under \u201cSignature #1\u201d with your name and email on the actual content area. You can edit and set this as your default signature though there is a option to either select signatures in sequential orders or in a random order as shown below.<\/p>\n
