1. Click on the postage stamp icon in the Dock to open mail.

2. Type your name in the "Your Name" box as you would like it to appear in the "From" field when someone receives an email from you. Type your email address in the "Email Address" box. Type "mail.surenet.net" in the "Incoming Mail Server" box. The Mail Server Type is "POP".

Type in your email account name in the "User Name" box. Type "mail.surenet.net" in the "Outgoing Mail Server" box.

Click "OK".

3. When asked whether you want to import mailboxes, click "No" unless you have been using another email program on this computer.

4. From the "Mail" menu, select "Preferences".

5. If desired, change how often Mail should check the mail server for new messages, and select a sound to play when new mail arrives.

Highlight your SureNet email account in the "Description" box, and click on "Edit".

6. No changes should be necessary in the Account Information tab, unless you want to change the description of the account. No changes should be necessary in the SMTP Server Options panel, but if you want to check the settings, click on the "Options" button.

7. In most cases, the default options are fine in the "Special Mailboxes" panel. Select the "Advanced" tab.

8. Place a checkmark next to "remove copy from server after retrieving a message" and select "Right away". You should only leave messages on the server if you commonly use SureNet's web-mail feature or are retrieving mail from two computers.

If you want to be prompted to skip large messages, type a number in the "Prompt me to skip messages over ___ kb" box. For example, if you type "1000", you will be prompted if the mail server has any messages over 1 MB in size and given the option of skipping them so you can first retrieve all the smaller messages. Do not change any of the other Advanced options.

Click "OK".
