The following tutorial will show you how set up your email accounts in the default Apple email client, Mac Mail. If you have any questions regarding this set up, please feel free to contact support and we can assist you further.
Step 1: When you initially open MacMail, you will be presented with a screen similar to the one above. Fill out the requested information. Once you have done this, click Continue.
In this next screen you put in the information regarding how MacMail will receive email. For account type select either POP or IMAP (If you would like to know the differences between POP and IMAP please consult: Getting Started Guide: Email). For “Description”, you can enter anything you would like so you know what account this is (useful for if you have multiple accounts). For “Incoming Mail Server” the server name will be mail.yourdomain.com. In the above example, the domain is imhtraining.com, the mail server is mail.imhtraining.com. In the “User Name” field put your Full Email Address. Just putting the part before the “@” will cause the server to not be able to authenticate correctly. In the password field put the password for the email account.
Please note, MacMail by default uses SSL. As a result when you use mail.yourdomain.com with IMAP there will be a warning asking you if you want to trust and accept an SSL certificate. It is perfectly safe to click allow for this. If you would like for this message to not appear and are in a shared environment change the mail server to securexx.inmotionhosting.com, where xx is your server number. For example, if your Welcome Email states that your account is on biz54.inmotionhosting.com, your outgoing server name should be secure54.inmotionhosting.com. If you are unsure, please contact support.
Step 3: Much like the earlier screen for the Incoming Mail Server, we must now set the sending settings. Fill out the “Description” field as you see fit. The “Outgoing Mail Server” field should be filled out with the same server that was used in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. Check the box that says “Use only this server”. Also check the box that says “Use Authentication” and fill in the “User Name” field with your Full Email Address and “Password” with that account's password.
Again note, MacMail by default uses SSL. As a result when you use mail.yourdomain.com with IMAP there will be a warning asking you if you want to trust and accept an SSL certificate. It is perfectly safe to click allow for this. If you would like for this message to not appear and are in a shared environment change the mail server to securexx.inmotionhosting.com, where xx is your server number. For example, if your Welcome Email states that your account is on biz54.inmotionhosting.com, your outgoing server name should be secure54.inmotionhosting.com. If you are unsure, please contact support.
Once you ready, click Continue.

Understanding COSC Certification and Its Importance in Watchmaking
COSC Validation and its Stringent Criteria
COSC, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the authorized Switzerland testing agency that attests to the accuracy and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC certification is a sign of quality craftsmanship and dependability in timekeeping. Not all watch brands seek COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead sticks to its own demanding criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO, achieving similar precision.
The Art of Exact Chronometry
The core mechanism of a mechanical watch involves the spring, which delivers energy as it loosens. This mechanism, however, can be vulnerable to external elements that may affect its accuracy. COSC-validated mechanisms undergo rigorous testing—over fifteen days in various circumstances (five positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests assess:
Typical daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 secs.
Mean variation, peak variation rates, and effects of thermal changes.
Why COSC Certification Is Important
For watch aficionados and connoisseurs, a COSC-validated watch isn't just a item of tech but a demonstration to lasting quality and precision. It represents a timepiece that:
Presents exceptional reliability and accuracy.
Provides assurance of quality across the whole construction of the watch.
Is likely to maintain its value more efficiently, making it a smart investment.
Famous Timepiece Brands
Several well-known brands prioritize COSC accreditation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Record and Spirit, which highlight COSC-accredited mechanisms equipped with innovative materials like silicon balance suspensions to improve durability and efficiency.
Historical Context and the Development of Chronometers
The notion of the chronometer dates back to the requirement for accurate chronometry for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison's work in the eighteenth century. Since the formal foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the validation has become a standard for evaluating the precision of luxury timepieces, sustaining a legacy of excellence in horology.
Conclusion
Owning a COSC-certified timepiece is more than an visual choice; it's a commitment to quality and accuracy. For those valuing precision above all, the COSC validation provides tranquility of thoughts, guaranteeing that each accredited watch will function dependably under various circumstances. Whether for personal contentment or as an investment decision, COSC-accredited timepieces distinguish themselves in the world of watchmaking, maintaining on a tradition of precise chronometry.
