Hopefully this tutorial will get you up and running with your new mail account with 34SP using Mail (for Apple Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard)). This tutorial assumes you have already set up your mailbox in Plesk and you just require mail set up to connect to that mailbox.
If you have not set up your mailbox yet and are unsure of how to do it check out the excellent Plesk tutorials here - http://support.34sp.com/siteadmin-control-panel/control-panel-tutorials/ then come back and follow this to set up Mail (for Apple Mac OSX).
Beginning
If this is the first time you've run Mail, simply fill in the forms, as outlined below. If you already have accounts setup, please follow the next step.
From the menu bar select Mail and then Preferences (or Applekey and ,)
Adding a new mail account
On the first screen, fill in your name, email address and email password
Click Continue. On the next screen select either IMAP or POP as the account type, from the list
Give the account an identifiable description, such as youraddress@yourdomain.ext.
Fill in the incoming mail server, and ensure mail username (which is your email address) contains your full email address. The password box should already be filled in from the previous screen. The account box should now look like this
Clicking Continue, will cause an error, as shown below, simply click Continue. This error is caused by Mail's default behaviour to use SSL for accounts.
SMTP
If you have not purchased the SMTP option, you will need to use your ISPs SMTP server address here.
Fill out the details for SMTP server address, description, SMTP username and SMTP password.
Clicking Continue, will cause an error, as shown below, simply click Continue. This error is caused by Mail's default behaviour to use SSL for accounts.
Deselect the "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)" option
Clicking Continue, gives the Summary screen, where you can check everything is set correctly.
Press Create to return to the Account setup box.
If this is the first time you've run Mail, you now need to select select Mail and then Preferences (or Applekey and ,) from the Menu bar, in order to see the box as below.
Click the Advanced tab, and ensure you un-click the "Use SSL" box
To check your SMTP username/password, select 'Edit server list' from the Outgoing mail server drop-down list.
Saving sent mail on the server
If you use an IMAP connection, then you may wish to have Mail store your sent mails on the server, so that they are visible in webmail, or from another computer if you access your mail from a remote computer.
To achieve this, firstly, go into the Preferences
Click Accounts
Select the account you would like to edit from the list on the left hand side
Click the "Mailbox Behaviours" tab
Tick "Store sent messages on the server"
Close the preferences screen, ensuring you save the change
Select the sent mail folder.
Click Mailbox on the menubar
Select the "Use this mailbox for" sub-menu
From there simply select "Sent"
You can do the same for a trash folder, but by selecting the trash folder, and using Use this mailbox for Trash
