The first thing Mac Mail requires to add the email account is relative to the incoming mail server. To know what it is, you have to enter your account through the Internet and locate the place where it appears; it is usually in Configuration or similar.

Anyway, by default the information that corresponds to your type of server is written.

In the next step, Mail keeps asking you for information about your incoming mail Server and, as in the previous case, the data written by default appears.

The same thing happens with the outgoing mail server. Mail requests configuration information, but by default the one corresponding to your email will appear.

Now, you have your account added to Mac Mail . In the tutorial, we have followed the longest path, but if everything goes correctly, many of these steps will not have to be passed since Mail will capture the information automatically.
