Set Up a Work Email Account in Apple Mail on macOS
Important Notes:
To set up an email account, you must have a valid user account (BA number).
To set up a task-specific email account, you must already have been granted the necessary access permissions (for example, by the management of your organizational unit), which means you must be a member of the relevant security group.
We simply recommend using the Mail app, as the Notes app often does not work well with this account. Therefore, you should uncheck this box.
