How do i create a local account in mac mail?

I have lost the account "On My Mac" How do I get it back or create a new local account

Thank you for your answer but unfortunately I did not ask the question or state the problem correctly. I am able create a new mailbox on my mac but I would like to get this to show up in My Contacts as a Local Account.
Maybe I should ask th question another way by stating that I wish to create a group of contacts locally on my mac from the contacts that are on iCloud. Is this possible?

  • Adding account in  Mac Mail

    How can I add a new account in Mac Mail please? 
    Using a Macbook Pro, Yosemite, and latest version of Mail.

    Hi gaginker, 
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    Here's how to add a new email account in the Mail application:
    To add another account, choose Mail > Add Account, select an account type, then enter your account information. Make sure the Mail checkbox is selected for the account. 
    If you already use an account on your Mac with other apps, such as Notes or Messages, you can also use the account with Mail. Choose Mail > Accounts to open Internet Accounts preferences, select the account on the left, then select the Mail checkbox on the right.
    From:
    Mail (Yosemite): Set up Mail with your email accounts
    Depending on your email provider, you may need to find out the settings mentioned in this article:
    Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support
    For some email providers, you might need to know certain settings when setting up Mail. You can use the worksheet in this article to find out which settings you need.
    Mail automatically configures your email accounts based on your email address for many email providers. If the information is not readily available, Mail prompts you to enter additional settings such as incoming and outgoing mail server addresses. You need to know these settings in order to set up Mail manually. This information comes from your email provider (such as Yahoo or Hotmail).
    Sincerely,

  • How do i create an email account

    How do I create an email account on my new macbook pro?

    Do you have an email ISP or an online email account such as GMail? Before you can create a Mail account on the computer you need to have the information provided by your email ISP to enter into the email application: your email address, .e.g., [email protected]; your email provider's SMTP server address, .e.g., smtp.server.com; the POP or IMAP mail server address, e.g., mail.server.com. You will also need your username and password for accessing your mail account.
    In many cases whoever provides your email service will have a help page showing you what to do to configure Mail on the Mac.

  • HT204053 how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    Thanks...  I appreciate the reply.  Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)...  I had it working before. 
    Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is...  Pop or Imap?  What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
    I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!

    i have an apple id and am trying to create an icloud account however my phone is not allowing me and saying that the number of free attempts have been exceeded even though this is my first attempt. how can i create an icloud account?

    Are you sure the message isn't saying that the maximum number of accounts have already been created?  When you get this message you will not be able to create another account on that device.  Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account using a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.
