3. It may give an error, that's fine, set some more settings:
   1. Account Type: IMAP (or POP if you prefer)
   2. Username: your full email address
   3. Incoming mail server: mail.aa.net.uk

Email should now work.

Apple mail doesn't ask for security settings but it should work out what to do itself automatically.

Note: Some Apple Mail App version default to emptying the Trash folder after 1 week. You may want to set this to Never in Account Settings
