How to Set Up Your BEK Email on Your Mac

Setting up your BEK email on a Mac is quick and easy. Follow the steps below to get your email up and running.

Step 1: Open the Mail Program

Locate the Mail app in your Dock. It looks like a postage stamp. Click to open.

If you've never set up an email account on your Mac, the Mail Account Provider options will appear. Choose Other Mail Account...
If you already have an email account set up, go to Mail in the top-left corner and click Add Account.
Select Other Mail Account and click Continue.
Fill out your email information:
- Name: The name you want to appear on outgoing emails.
- Email Address: Your BEK email address.
- Password: Your BEK email password.
Click Sign In.

Choose the apps you’d like to use with your BEK email (such as Mail and Notes), then click Done.
Your inbox window will now open.

To ensure everything is working correctly:

Click the Compose New Message button at the top left (it looks like a square with a pencil).
In the To field, enter your own email address.
Type a subject and a short message, then click Send (paper airplane icon at the top left).

If your email doesn’t send or you see an error message:

Check your Account Info under Mail Settings:
- Enable this account: Should be checked.
- Status: Online.
- Description: BEK Email.
- Email Address: Your BEK email address.
Check your Server Settings:
- Navigate to the Server Settings tab
- Verify the correct server details:
  - Incoming Mail Server (IMAP Host Name): imap.bektel.com
  - Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP Host Name): smtp.bektel.com
- If the settings are incorrect, update them and save your changes.

Remember, you can access your BEK email from any computer at any time by visiting webmail.bektel.com. If you need further assistance, contact BEK Support.
