To add a new mail account on an Apple computer, follow these steps:

1. Open the Mail app on your Mac. It is usually found in the Dock or in the Applications folder.

2. From the Mail menu in the top menu bar, select "Preferences."

3. In the Preferences window, click on the "Accounts" tab.

4. Click on the "+" button at the bottom left corner of the window to add a new account.

5. Select the type of account you want to add. You can choose from iCloud, Exchange, Google, Yahoo, AOL, or Other Mail Account.

6. Enter your email address and password for the account you want to add.

7. Click "Sign In" or "Continue." Your Mac will attempt to automatically configure the account settings based on the information you provided.

8. If the automatic configuration is successful, click "Done." If it is not successful, you may need to enter additional information such as server settings and port numbers. You can usually find this information on your email provider's website.

9. Your new account will now be added to the Mail app, and you can begin using it to send and receive emails.

Repeat steps 4-9 for any additional accounts you want to add.
