To receive mail via Apple Mail, enable POP3 or IMAP support in your mailbox settings.

    Note. The account creation wizard opens automatically when the program is launched for the first time.
  2. Select Add another mail account and then click Continue.
  3. In the Add Mail account window, specify the following account settings:
    • Full name – username (for example, “Commander Spock”)

    • Password – your Yandex password (or the application password if you enabled two-factor authentication)
