Now, in most cases, the Mac OS automatically takes care of those arcane settings and configures them in this single system preference.And it should be, because Apple modeled Mountain Lions Mail, Contacts Calendars system preference on the setting of the same name found on todays iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.If anything, the Mountain Lion version is actually easier to use because it isnt crammed with additional settings specific to the Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders applications.Much as I love discussing the ins and outs of contacts, events, and reminders, our focus here will be on setting up email accounts on your Mac.
Google Email Settings Mail Mac OS AutomaticallyGoogle Email Settings Mail Mac OS Automatically TakesLaunch System Preferences and, in the Internet Wireless area, click Mail, Contacts Calendars. If you took advantage of the offer to set up an iCloud account when you first configured your Mac, youll see an iCloud entry in the list of accounts on the left side of the resulting window. Google Email Settings Mail Series Of CommonlyTo the right of that list is a series of commonly used services, including (in the United States) iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo, AOL, Vimeo, and Flickr. At the very bottom of the list is an an Add Other Account. To use these services, you must first set up an account with themsomething that you cant do within this preference. If, for example, you wish to set up a Gmail account, launch a Web browser (Apples Safari is the default) and travel to. Create your Gmail account here, making a note of your username and password. A sheet pops down with Name, Email Address, and Password fields. In all likelihood the Name field will be filled in already; if it isnt, do so. Then, just enter your Gmail address (in the form yourusernamegmail.com ), enter your password, and click Set Up. As long as your Mac is connected to the Internet, it will create the correct settings so that you can use Gmails mail, calendars, reminders, messages, and notes features. Youll know that its efforts have been successful if a sheet appears that lets you choose which of Gmails features to use. If you dont wish to use all of the featuresfor example, youd rather not sync your Gmail calendars and reminders with your Macs Calendar and Reminders applications (and Ill talk about why you might not want to do this when I discuss those specific applications in a later column)simply uncheck the ones youd prefer to do without. Youll see a spinning gear icon next to the enabled features, which indicates that your Mac is syncing Gmails data with the appropriate applications on your computer. You will notice as well that your Gmail account now appears in the list of configured accounts. If youd like to use a different name for your account, select it, click the Details button to the right, and in the sheet that appears, enter a new name in the Description field and click OK. So what exactly has happened here If youve chosen to synchronize your email with Google, go ahead and launch the Mail application, which youll find in the Dock. You have my permission to gasp when you see that a Gmail account now appears in Mails list of accounts. And thats the beauty of the Mail, Contacts Calendars system preference.
