Setting Up Mail in Netscape 4.0

When you first install Netscape 4.0, you will have the option to set up your mailbox by entering your POP3 host, your SMTP host, and your user name. Your ISP or email administrator should have supplied you with the name of your POP3 host (for example, mail.thedomain.com) and SMTP host (for example, smtp.thedomain.com ). Your user name is the part of your email address before the "@" sign.

To edit your mail preferences in Netscape:

Select Preferences from the Edit menu.
Select Mail & Groups. (If you do not have Mail & Groups as an option, you have installed the stand-alone version of Netscape. In order to use Netscape as a mail client, you need to install the full version of Netscape with Messenger Mailbox).
Select Mail Servers, and enter your POP3 host, your SMTP host, and your user name. Your user name is the part of your email address before the "@" sign. The names of your POP3 host and SMTP host should have been provided to you by your ISP or email administrator.
Netscape allows you to create multiple email boxes with unique passwords, to allow different users to share the same computer.

From the Netscape Program Group, select Utilities > User Profile Manager.
Select New to create a new profile.
You will have the option to enter your POP3 server, SMTP server, NNTP (news server), user name, and email address. Your NNTP setting maybe optional.
You are now ready to receive and send mail using Netscape Mail.
