Q: how do i setup sbcglobal.net email on laptop

My husband bought a new 2016 MacBook Air. Least expensive one available. Needs me to set

up his email. He has sbcglobal.net and a Yahoo email account.

We have  AT&T sbcglobal.net providing our internet to the house-wifi and email.

I've only set up yahoo before.

I'm 61 and not very computer savvy.

Any guidance appreciated.

For the record, the 2016 MacBook Air does not exist, it is most likely the 2015. Anyways, I have grand parents with an sbcglobal.net email address, so your in luck. What they do is they have yahoo.com as their home page, and login to the email through the website. You can also use the Mail application in the dock to do this for ease of use. I will have instructions for both below.

 

Using Yahoo.com:


1) go to Safari or the internet browser of choice

 

2)in the address bar at the top type in yahoo.com

 

3)in the top right corner it says sign in and go from there

 

 

Using the Mail App:

 

1) launch System Preferences the app looks like this:
