In this guide, you will learn how to set up a TU Dresden email account in Apple Mail for macOS. You can then send and receive emails, view your calendar and continue to set up your personal certificate for signing and encryption.

Setup

1. Open the “System Preferences” app and select “Internet Accounts”.
2. Select the “Add Account...” button.
3. Click the “Select a provider from the list” link, and then select “Microsoft Exchange”.
4. Enter your full name as the “Name” and your primary email address as the “Email Address”.

Notes for calendar usage

• If shared sub-calendars (calendars below the main "Calendar" calendar) are to be added, the assignment of the additional "Folder visible" permission on the main "Calendar" calendar is required separately for each user who is to receive the permission.
• This permission can only be assigned by the owner of the shared calendar and only via "Outlook for Windows".
• The calendars released in this way can then be added via "Settings", "Accounts" in the calendar app.
  To do this, select "Exchange" (the TU Dresden account just set up) as the account, click on the "+" symbol and select the desired TU Dresden accounts whose calendars are to be displayed.
