Email Settings on Mac

To configure email settings on your Mac, you'll need to make some adjustments to the security settings. Follow these steps to ensure that your UW-Madison Java applications run smoothly.

First, open System Settings and navigate to the Privacy & Security section. If you receive an error saying a UW-Madison Java application cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer, you'll need to give permission for macOS to open it. To do this, select the Open Anyway button to open frmservlet.jnlp.

Next, open the Java Control Panel by selecting System Settings or System Preferences (depending on your computer's version of macOS). Then, type 'Configure Java' and select the Configure Java application from the search results to launch the Java Control Panel.

In the Java Control Panel, you'll see a Security section. Select this section and look for an option to add URLs to the Exception Site List. Make sure the URL listed after Locations is one that you recognize, then it's safe to run the application. Click OK to save your changes.

If you're using Java 7 update 51 or later, you may need to change some additional settings. To do this, open the Start menu by selecting the Windows icon in the corner of the screen or by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard. Then, type 'Configure Java' and select the Configure Java application from the search results to launch the Java Control Panel.

In the Exception Site List window, you'll see a list of URLs that are trusted to run Java applications. If you receive a Security Warning pop-up when attempting to open a UW-Madison Java application, select OK to continue.

By following these steps, you should be able to configure your email settings on your Mac and ensure that your UW-Madison Java applications run smoothly.
