You'll want to take a moment to go through the preferences menus of Mail if that's the program you want to use for your e-mail. Like always, you can alter some of the settings to make your experience more personalized to your way of doing things. Choose Mail and then Preferences to access these settings or you can go to the Apple menu > User Preferences > Mail.
Use the General preferences tab to set your default e-mail program, how often it checks for new e-mail, how you are alerted to new e-mail, and other fairly selfexplanatory settings. If you want invitations that you receive to automatically be added to iCal, you can select that as an option from the pull-down menu.
The Accounts preferences tab has three subtabs: Account Information, Mailbox Behaviors, and Advanced.
Here you can add, delete, and edit your e-mail accounts. You can edit your specific account information, including your username, passwords, e-mail address, and server information. You can also add multiple accounts, such as a home e-mail account and a work e-mail account. Click the + and – buttons below the Accounts list to add and delete accounts. Click an account to see its details. Once you've added a new e-mail account, its mailbox will appear with your other mailboxes in the Mail sidebar. Click the mailbox to see what e-mail it contains.
Here you can decide where to save drafts, whether notes should appear in your Inbox, whether sent messages are stored on the server, and how often you want junk e-mails to be deleted. You can also set how often your deleted messages are permanently erased. Remember, once they are permanently deleted, there's no turning back!
Turn a Mail account on or off and decide which accounts are checked for new e-mail from the Advanced tab. Checking Enable This Account enables the account to send and receive e-mail. Checking Include when Automatically Checking for New Messages means that this account will be included when Mail checks the servers for new e-mail messages. You can also opt to keep copies of your e-mails on your ISP's server.
Use these settings if you want to read your RSS feeds in Mail. You can set how often Mail checks the feed for updates and set Mail or Safari (or another program) as your default RSS reader.
