How do I set up my NMIT email on a Mac using the Mail app?

Follow these steps to add your NMIT Microsoft 365 email account to the built-in Mail app on your Mac.

Your NMIT email account is provided through Microsoft 365 and includes:

  • A 50 GB mailbox
  • Calendar
  • Contacts
  • Built-in spam protection

You can access your email through the Student Hub on the Current Students section of the NMIT website or by following the instructions below.  You can also continue using your NMIT email account after you finish studying at NMIT.

Your NMIT email address is in the format:

  • Students: preferredname-lastname@live.nmit.ac.nz

For example: joe-bloggs@live.nmit.ac.nz

Set up your email in the Apple Mail app
  1. Open the Mail app on your Mac.
  2. From the menu bar, select Mail > Accounts.
     
  3. Select Exchange as the account type.
  4. Enter:
    • Your name
    • Your NMIT email address (for example, preferredname-lastname@live.nmit.ac.nz)
    • Your NMIT password
  5. Select Sign In.
     
  6. Follow any additional Microsoft sign-in prompts if they appear.
  7. Once setup is complete, your NMIT email account will appear in the Mail app, and your messages will begin syncing.
