Configure exchange email account in mac mail

Setting up a Microsoft Exchange Mailbox in Mac Mail

Please find the attached file for detailed reference.

You can set up a Mac to connect to a Microsoft Exchange mailbox by using the Mac Mail email client. We have separate guides for setting up a Standard or Advanced mailbox in Mac Mail.

Note: Mac Mail allows you to send and receive email using your Microsoft Exchange mailbox but does not give you access to all the Exchange mailbox’s features.
