Mac computers are known for their productivity and sleek user interface.
But using Gmail or Outlook exclusively on your web browser isn’t exactly ideal for productivity, and for a good reason.
If you want to learn how to add an email account on Mac, this guide is for you.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
Adding an email account to your Apple Mail app is fairly simple, even if you haven’t done it before.
With nearly 4.4 billion email users worldwide, it’s likely that you want to merge or add multiple emails into one central location on your Mac. And because it’s Apple, it’s easy to do so.
Now your Mail inbox will be sorted by most recent, and each email will be whitelisted with a tag indicating which account the message came from. For example, if you add the email address john@doe.com, that label will appear above all email messages.
Unfortunately, Google doesn’t offer an official email application for MacOS. However, other options exist if you’re looking for an app to host Gmail on your Mac without running a browser tab.
You can try adding your Gmail account to Apple Mail or install third-party apps to host Gmail on your Mac.
Let’s cover some of the choices for third-party apps.
With a mobile app, free and premium options, and an Apple Editor’s Choice award, Spark Mail is a top choice for anyone looking for an organized way to sift through their inbox without opening a browser.
Spark Mail automatically sorts emails into personal, newsletter, and notification categories with its AI algorithm.
The closest app you can get to your Gmail browser is Mail for Gmail. This free app boasts traditional Gmail themes, customizable notifications, and alternative modes to make your experience the best it can be.
Currently, the app ranks #13 in Productivity and has a 4.6/5 star rating with over 17,000 reviews.
Similar to Mail for Gmail, MailTag is a premium app that sports a Gmail-like design with additional advanced features. You can track email views and link clicks and view unlimited analytics, empowering you to nurture leads with email.
Setting up your email accounts on a Mac is extremely fast and easy. Whether you want to set up business email accounts, personal emails, or both, you can choose the appropriate app and method based on your needs.
