Downloading email to a Mac is usually very easy to set up. Depending on your mail utility version, your windows may look somewhat different than those pictured below, however the settings should be similar.
First, start creating a new email account with your email utility (refer to your user documentation if you have any questions on how to do this).
Next, after inputting your general account information (e.g. description, name, etc.), input your Incoming Mail Server settings. This should be the word mail, followed by a dot, followed by your main domain name, followed by a dot, followed by your top-level domain. For example, if my main domain name is mediacatch, and my top-level domain is .com, then my Incoming Mail Server will be mail.mediacatch.com.
Then, input your username and password. Note that your username is your full email address for the account:
Now, click on Server Settings to modify your Outgoing Mail Server. Your Outgoing Mail Server is identical to your Incoming Mail Server, so enter the same name (e.g. mail.mediacatch.com).
Do NOT check the box requiring Secure Sockets Layer.
For Authentication, choose Password.
Enter your full username (your email address for this account), and password. Click OK and you are done:
