The following walkthroughs will help you with any email setup questions you might have. Once you have your email client configured with the proper settings, you will be able to send and receive properly on our new and improved website hosting platform.

Setup A New Account - Macintosh - Netscape 7.2 - Mail & Newsgroups

Open Netscape 7.2. In the bottom left corner, click the 'Mail & Newsgroups' icon (the one that looks like a letter).

This will start Netscape Mail & Newsgroups and if this is your first time opening Netscape Mail & Newsgroups, you will be directed automatically to the 'New Account Setup' wizard. If you are not, Click on the 'Edit' menu and select 'Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings...' and click 'Add Account...' in the bottom left corner.

Make sure the dot is on 'Email account' and click 'Next'.

Identity

This is where you can choose what name will be displayed in the FROM area when you send an email. A good idea is to use your real name or business name (if this is a generic mailbox).

'Your Name':
Replace with: Your Name

This is also where you type in your email address.

'Email Address':
Replace with: your_email@your_website_address.com

Click 'Next'.

Server Information

Make sure you have 'POP' selected for the type of the incoming server.

'Incoming Server':
Replace with: mail.your_website_address.com

'Outgoing Server':
Replace with: mail.your_website_address.com

Click 'Next'.

User Names

'Incoming User Name':
Replace with: your_email.your_website_address.com

Click 'Next'.

Congratulations!

After reviewing the settings on this screen, click 'Finish' and it will open up Netscape Mail & Newsgroups fully and show you your 'Inbox', automatically doing a Send/Receive for email.

You should be able to send and receive email.

Change your outgoing mail (SMTP) port from the default of 25 to 1025.

To do this:

Click on the 'Edit' menu > 'Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings...' > 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)' sub-category on the left.

Change the 'Port' from 25 to 1025.
