Best Email Address to use with Apple Mac Computer?
What is the Best Email for Mac using Apple Mac Mail for Apple Mac Computers?
If you need the best email setup for Email on a Apple Mac Computer, then the Apple Account Email has a non technical setup, and also Apple gives a Free Email @icloud.com email address for your to use with 5Gb of Storage. You can also use Google Mail (Gmail) and it is also a non technical setup with good email security if you follow the Google Security guidelines. If you need an email account that is more business like, then Microsoft Exchange from Microsoft 365 can be a good option.
When it comes to deciding which is the best email address to use on a Apple Mac computer, you need to consider how easy it is to setup an email address for use with Apple Mac Mail or with Microsoft Outlook for Mac.
One of the best and quickest ways to use Apple Mac Mail is to use an Apple iCloud email address, which is free to setup and free to use with a 5Gb Apple iCloud storage account, if you need more storage then you can add more storage space if needed.
With Apple iCloud Email your Apple icloud Account known as a Apple Account on Mac OS Sequoia is very secure and is protected with Apple Two Factor authentication and Apple Passkey encryption and their is zero technical setup to add an Apple icloud email address to a Apple Mac Computer.
Using Apple Mac Mail with Google Mail.
Using Google Mail on Mac OS with a modern version of Mac OS also works well with Apple Mac Mail, and a Google Account and a Google Gmail account can have great protection and with Mac OS and with Apple Mac Mail the setup is also non technical to do, and you can use the Google Account Two Factor Authentication and also use a Google Authentication account sign in process with Mac OS and with Apple Mac Mail.
Using Microsoft Outlook.com with Apple Mac Mail.
You will run into issues and problems if you use Apple Mac Mail and a Microsoft Outlook.com email address account, as since about September 2024, Microsoft Outlook accounts need to use Microsoft Two Factor authentication or the Microsoft Authenticator App or an Apple icloud Passkey setup to allow Apple Mac Mail to work and to authenticate the modern Microsoft Outlook.com sign in security, Mac OS is currently missing the Outlook.com option when adding a new email address to Apple Mac Mail and a workaround is very unreliable and insecure to use.
So if you use an Outlook.com account email address and you need to use email on MacOS then Microsoft Outlook for Mac will support the modern authentication account verification methods, with support for Outlook.com Password Less accounts, Microsoft Two Factor Authentication, and Apple iCloud Passkey technology.
