Configuring Netscape Mail Reader For
Your Account
1. Open Netscape Browser
2. Move to the
"Edit" drop down menu and select
"Preferences."
3. From the
"Left Menu"
select "Mail and Newsgroups",
then click the +
symbol, which displays a list of options. Select
"Identity."
Enter the "email address"
of the account you're setting up, and
"your name"
as demonstrated in the following
example:
4. From the
"Left Menu", select the "Mail Servers"
tab and enter your appropriate information as illustrated in the
following example. Make sure to use the "full
Email Address" of the account you're setting up as the
"username." When finished, click
"ok."
5. Configure your
"Outgoing Mail Server", settings that
correspond to your domain name, and as demonstrated in the following
example. Click "OK" when finished.
That's pretty well it! Close your account
settings and test out your new address by sending a message to it. If
you're able to send a message, and receive that same message in your new
account, then congratulations! - you've successfully setup your first
email account on our servers.
Potential
problems with sending mail:
Due the the mass amount of abuse from a few problem souls, an increasing
number of ISP's are disabling ability to "send mail" through someone
else's SMTP server. If you receive an
error message
when attempting to use our "Outgoing SMTP" server, it probably means
your ISP has denied access to (what is otherwise known) as 'third party
relaying." To solve this problem, simply go back to your account
properties, and select the "server settings" tab. Now, there are two
things you must do:
1. Change the
"SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" settings to the
same ones as you're using on your ISP's email account. This information
should be included with the setup instructions of your Internet
account. If not, contact your ISP for their "Outgoing SMTP Mail
Settings."
2. Once you've added your
ISP's SMTP settings, remove the information in the
"Outgoing Mail Server User Name" and leave it blank.
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE! You can now
receive mail from your domain account, while sending mail will be
accomplished through your ISP's SMTP servers. This will in no way
effect the performance or look of your email messages coming from your
domain.
Note:
PLEASE… DO NOT send large volumes of mailings through our SMTP Relay
server. It's really provided as a courtesy to our users, and not
something to be used for mass mailing list purposes. If you're
sending large emails, or are running a mailing list, PLEASE use your
ISP's mail server for this purpose. They are better setup for this sort
of heavy duty usage, and you won't clog our SMTP server, which also
needs to provide resources to other users
