Use your Internet accounts on Mac
You can use Exchange, Google, Yahoo and other internet accounts in Mac apps by adding the accounts to your Mac.
You add internet accounts and manage account settings, in Internet Accounts settings. You can also add Internet accounts from some apps that use them.
An iCloud account you add using iCloud settings in Apple ID settings also appears in Internet Accounts settings. You can change its settings in either place.

You can add accounts directly from the Calendar, Contacts and Mail apps. Accounts you add from these apps appear in Internet Accounts settings. Before you can add an account from an app, you must create the account on the provider’s website.

In the app on your Mac, click the app’s name in the menu bar, then choose Add Account.
For example, in Mail, choose Mail > Add Account.
Select the account provider, then click Continue.
