Apple Mail App MacBook

The instructions below will guide you through the process of setting up your school Gmail account on the Apple Mail app on your Macbook. Your school Gmail account is an IMAP account this means that your mail will synchronize across multi-devices that are using the same Gmail account (if you delete an email on your laptop it will also delete from your iPad or iPhone.

Your old exchange email account ie. David.Smith@dow.catholic.edu.au will be re-directed to your new Gmail account, so there is no need to change your email but I would recommend that users start using your new Gmail address. 

Your school Google account including your Gmail account are educational accounts and will give you greater access to many educational sites and resources compared to a general public Gmail account.
