This is a quick guide to setup Apple Mail to UCSB Connect for Mail.  This should also include Calendar and Contacts with UCSB Connect.

You will want to have done Setting Up Connect Account for Mail Clients before proceeding so that your Mac can connect to your UCSB Connect Mail.

Also, at this time, the instructions apply to the latest version of Mac OS X.

Older versions of Mac OS X (Yosemite, El Capitan and so forth) may not work well with this way. It is generally recommended to update the Mac OS X so this will work as well as security reasons.

First, you want to go to System Preferences…

From there, we want to click on Internet Accounts

You will see this window:

Select Google which will then show this window:

Put in your UCSB Connect Email address and click Next.  It will then prompt you for your password for your UCSB Connect Account.

Once you have entered in your password, you will be asked what do you want to sync with your UCSB Connect Account.

We recommend that you only sync your Mail, Contacts and Calendars.  Click on Done to complete this.

Open up Mail, Calendar and Contacts and give it a few minutes to sync up.
