I'm running OSX 10.12.6. For some random reason, my internet accounts pane has cleared & I cannot add any new accounts: I'm an IT tech & can confirm that I have not manually removed the account. I did have an update the other day, but not sure what it was as I didn't investigate. ICloud is still registered. Any thoughts as to what might be. Note: In order to activate Office for Mac, you will need a valid and licensed Microsoft 365 account or a Microsoft Account that is associated with a one-time purchase. If you don't, you won't be able to create or edit files, only read them. Mac: Connecting to the Internet Obviously, you'll need an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP for short) to get connected to the Internet on your Mac (unless you are in a public place with free Wi-Fi, or if you can get access somehow to your neighbors' account!). Go to the Accounts system preference, click on the lock icon and enter in your user ID and password so you can make changes, click Login Options, and in the 'Automatic Login' pulldown change it to your account or to Off, whichever you prefer. I would suggest you remove that former user's account, unless there's some reason you need to keep it. While you can easily configure and use your Microsoft account on Windows, Android, and iOS, the Mac requires a bit more work. Open System Preferences and navigate to Internet accounts.
By default, Mail includes one (or more) of these accounts when you first run it:
- The account that you entered when you first installed Mac OS X: If you entered the information for an email account, it's available.
- Your .Mac account: If you registered for a .Mac service account, it will be included.
- Upgraded accounts: If you upgraded an existing Mac OS system, your existing Mail accounts will be added to the Accounts list in Mail.
Speaking of the Accounts list, choose Mail –> Preferences and click the Accounts button to display the Accounts dialog box that you see in Figure 1. From here, you can add an account, edit an existing account, or remove an account from Mail. Although most folks still have only one email account, you can use a passel of them. For example, you might use one account for your personal email and one account for your business communications. To switch accounts, just click the account that you want to use from this list to make it the active account.
