Account Type: IMAP
Incoming Mail Server: demo.atmail.com
Outgoing Mail Server: demo.atmail.com

Step 4

• The Mail app will now ask you which apps you wish to use with this account.
• Ensure "Mail" is selected.
• Then click "Done".

• You can now send and receive email using Apple Mail.
• Please note that you can still log in and use webmail to send and receive email from your browser, if/when you choose to.
