Internet Accounts
Until Mavericks came along, this System Preferences pane was called Mail, Contacts & Calendars. It’s a single, handy, central place to tell OS X your user names and passwords for all kinds of Internet services: Gmail, Yahoo, Exchange, Twitter, Vimeo, Flickr, LinkedIn, and so on.
To get started entering your account names and passwords, click
one of the big-name logos (Gmail, Yahoo, whatever)—or click the
button below the list. The Mac is smart enough
to feed the account information here into the right programs (Mail,
Calendar, Contacts, and the Share buttons described on Notes on Disk Swapping).
