Set up a student e-mail account in Apple Mail under macOS (M365 e-mail system)
Important notes:
To be able to integrate an e-mail account, you must have a valid user account (BA number + corresponding password).
We only recommend using the Mail app, as the Notes app often does not work satisfactorily with the account. You should therefore uncheck this box.
