Internet Accounts preferences
Use Internet Accounts preferences to add your social media accounts and other Internet accounts from Google, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Yahoo!, and other providers, so you can use them in your Mac apps. The iCloud account you set up in iCloud preferences also appears in Internet Accounts preferences. You can also add another iCloud account, if you have one.
For each account, you can select the account features you want to use, such as Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Messages, Notifications, Game Center, and Share Menu.
Note: Deleting an account or deselecting individual features can remove data stored in your apps. The data may be restored if you select the feature or add the account again. If you’re not sure, ask the account provider.
To view these preferences, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Internet Accounts.
