This question is not about how to set up an email address in Outlook. We are using Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5. There have been some permanent performance issues that have changed with a recent update that have caused issues and we are looking to transfer to using Outlook instead.
- If you haven’t already, download and install Spark mail app on your Mac to get started. If you’re already using Spark and want to add a Exchange account, follow these instructions here instead.
- Launch Spark for Mac
- Click on “Start using Spark” on the welcome screen.
- Type in your email address, tick the checkbox next to “I agree to the Spark Terms of Use and Privacy Policy” and click on the “Next” button.
- On the next screen, enter your Exchange password and click Next. Then, click on the blue ‘Allow’ button to grant Spark access to your email account, so you can use your Exchange within Spark.
That’s it! There are no Settings to configure and no servers to specify. Just sign into your Exchange account and start using Spark for Mac.
If native email client, you may need to enable 2 Factor Authentication on your Apple ID and create an app specific password to use. For details, read this. Otherwise, switch to Outlook for mac to see if the issue persists. Download TypeApp Email, Mail & Exchange and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. TypeApp is a free, secure email app providing a top-notch email experience while managing all your email accounts from one completely customizable mail app. If just want to manage your Exchange email account on the Mac, you can use the Mac Mail app to connect to your account using Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or Post Office Protocol (POP). Set up Exchange account access using Outlook for Mac. If you have Outlook for Mac, you can use it to access your Exchange account. An exchange account is an email-based collaborative communications server for organizations. It uses a syncing style similar but not the same as IMAP to sync emails, contacts, calendars, and other features. Exchange’s syncing feature is called “Exchange ActiveSync.” And the most typical email clients used for Exchange are Microsoft’s.

Several Mac users have reported that the Mail app window just pops up randomly and for no reason. Are you also having this problem on your Mac?
