📋 Before You Begin

Ensure that you've enabled IMAP/POP access in your CodaMail account settings before starting this setup process. This is required for external email clients to connect to your account.

Apple Mail Tip: Have your CodaMail username and password ready. The setup process will guide you through the configuration automatically.

🚀 Step 1: Open Apple Mail Settings

  • Open the Mail app on your Mac
  • Click "Mail" in the top menu bar
  • Select "Settings" (or "Preferences" in older versions)
  • Click the "Accounts" tab
  • Click the "+" button to add a new account

📧 Step 2: Initial Account Setup

  • Select "Other Mail Account" from the list of options
  • Click "Continue"
  • Enter your:
    • Name: As you want it to appear in messages
    • Email address: Your full CodaMail address
    • Password: Your account password
  • Click "Sign In"

📥 Step 3: Configure Incoming Mail Server (IMAP)

  • Account Type: Select "IMAP"
  • Incoming Mail Server: mail.pnsh.com
  • Username: Your account name only (do not include @codamail.com)
  • Password: Your email password
  • Port: 993
  • Use SSL: Yes (checked)

📤 Step 4: Configure Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)

  • Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.pnsh.com
  • Username: Your account name only (do not include @codamail.com)
  • Password: Your email password
  • Port: 465
  • Use SSL: Yes (checked)
  • Authentication: Password

✅ Step 5: Complete Setup

  • Click "Sign In" or "Create" to complete the setup
  • Select which apps you want to use with this account (Mail should be checked)
  • Click "Done"
  • Your CodaMail account should now appear in the Mail app sidebar

⚙️ Advanced Settings

To verify or adjust advanced settings after setup:

  • Go back to Mail Settings > Accounts
  • Select your CodaMail account
  • Click "Server Settings" or "Advanced"
  • Verify that:
    • SSL is enabled for both incoming and outgoing servers
    • Authentication is set to "Password" for both servers
    • Ports are correctly set (993 for IMAP, 465 for SMTP)

🔧 Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during setup:

  • Verify that IMAP/POP access is enabled in your CodaMail account settings
  • Double-check that your username is entered without @codamail.com
  • Ensure SSL/TLS is enabled for both incoming and outgoing servers
  • Verify that you're using the correct ports (993 for IMAP, 465 for SMTP)
  • Try quitting and reopening the Mail app, then attempting setup again
  • Check your Mac's firewall settings to ensure Mail can connect to the internet
