How to disable automatic management of connection settings

By default, Apple Mail is configured to automatically manage the server connection settings for the incoming and outgoing mail servers. These settings will usually not work on email addresses hosted by Surftown. This guide shows how to configure your email address using manual settings. This guide was written based on the version of Mail included in MacOS 10.12 Sierra. Please note that minor variations in the set-up process are possible if you are using an older version of MacOS. If your MacOS is older than 10.11 El Capitan, we recommend that you upgrade before setting up your email address. Please check the guides on Apple's site for instructions on how to do this.
