How to Add GoDaddy Email to Mac
GoDaddy has been a popular place to host and build websites for over twenty years. It’s also become a popular place for small businesses to purchase email hosting services so avoid having reliabletreecutting40@gmail.com as a business email address. With GoDaddy’s SMB tools, you’ll be able to set up sales@reliabletreecutting.com as your business email address.
Because GoDaddy is the same place you host your business domain and website, it becomes a centralized place to build out your email hosting as well. The problem is that GoDaddy’s web interface is slow and hard to use. By adding GoDaddy email to your Mac, you’ll enjoy all the benefits of a native application.
If you are a newer GoDaddy customer, you are on the Microsoft 365 plan, you should consult our Microsoft 365 guide for Mac setup. This guide is for the GoDaddy email for legacy customers.
