ow do I configure Netscape Messenger?

Netscape Messenger is the mail program that is bundled with Netscape Communicator. The newest version of Netscape is 6. If you don't have the newest version, or don't have Netscape at all and would like it, you can go to Netscape Download and obtain it.

When using Netscape Messenger for the first time, you will need to enter in some configuration info. Once Netscape is opened, go to the Edit menu and select Preferences. Then follow the steps and pictures below to set it up.

To start, double click on Mail and Newsgroups on the left side of the window, so that it opens up, showing the preferences under it (Identity, Mail Servers, etc.). Your Name This should be your full name. Email Address Your email address goes here eg.; username@yourdomain.com. Reply-to Address This doesn't have to be filled in unless you want it to be something other than your Sarasa.net email address. In the menu on the left, click on Mail Servers. It should look something like the next picture below...

Under Outgoing Mail Server: Outgoing mail (SMTP) server Set the SMTP server to the address of your access provider's outgoing mail server. For example, MSN users would set this to: smtp.email.msn.com AOL users: Although AOL use a proprietary mail system that does not support the Internet-standard SMTP protocol, the following settings have worked - Outgoing Mail SMTP server: tot-tk.proxy.aol.com Incoming Mail server mail.sarasa.net There is also an "agent" program distributed by ENETBOT.com who claim that it allows AOL users to use any POP mail program (Eudora, Outlook, Netscape, Pegasus, etc). If you use this agent, be sure to set mail.sarasa.net as your incoming mailserver for use with your account. Outgoing mail server user name This should say default. Under Incoming Mail Server If there is nothing in the white window, then click Add. If there is something in the white window, then select it and click Edit. Either way, you should see something like the window below.

Select the General tab... Server Name mail.sarasa.net Server Type This should be set to POP3 Server User Name For basic accounts with their own domain name this will be the name assigned to your account. For example, "ezwx.com" would likely have the login name "ezwx". Accounts with additional unique email accounts will use as their login name the first part of your email address, username@yourdomain.com). Remember Password Check this if you do not want to have to type in your password everytime you check your mail. Next, select the POP tab. It should like the one below.

Leave messages on server We advise that this be UNCHECKED. If you leave this checked, everytime you check your mail, it will remain on the server, AND your computer. All this does is fill up your account with old emails. But, if you want to check your mail from multiple places (such as a computer at work, and machine at home, for example) then you can leave it checked so that the mail will be received from both places. If you are going to leave the messages on the server, then make sure that you also check the When deleting a message locally... option so that the mail that you put in the trash and delete will not be kept on the server. Now click OK and you'll go back to the main Preferences window. In the menu on the left, click on Newsgroup Servers. It should look something like the next picture below...
