To configure your Netscape Mail or any other e-mail
client, you need to know your POP3 and SMTP servers. To
find them out:
- Log into H-Sphere control panel;
-
Select Mail Info in the Mail Info menu.
Your provider's mail server may use different SMTP relays for
sending mail - POP before SMTP or SMTP AUTH. In POP
before SMTP, the relay system collects your IP address when you
authenticate yourself with the POP server, and then permits SMTP
relaying from that IP address for a short period of time. In other
words, if your server uses POP before SMTP, you need to check your
mail first, only then you can send your messages. If your mail
servers uses SMTP AUTH, you must configure your Outlook
Express to send a login and password not only when you receive mail,
but also when you send it. Ask your provider which relay the server
uses.

Configuring Netscape Email
To configure this email client with the POP before
SMTP relay:
- Open Netscape Mail.
Note: Netscape users may experience
problems with collecting their mail. In this
case, mail server login name must be written
with the % character instead of the @ sign, e.g.
username%example.com. Netscape only supports
a clear-text SMTP AUTH protocol so SSL use is
required.
- In the top menu bar, select Preferences from
the Edit drop-down menu.
- Click Mail and Newsgroups in the left menu and
select Identity. On the page that appears:
- enter your name as the following example shows;
- enter the email address of the account you're setting up;
- enter the reply email address (usually the same as email
address).
- Select Mail Servers in the left menu and click
Add against the Incoming Mail Servers field.
- On the dialog window that shows, choose the General tab
and fill the form:
- Enter the Server name;
- Choose POP as Server type
- Enter User name
- Select Remember password if you want to login to your mail
account without having to type a password every time.
- Optionally, select Check for mail every specified period
of time.
- Select the POP tab to choose different Incoming Mail
options.
- Click OK to save settings.
- Back on the Mail Servers page, enter the Outgoing
Mail Server info:
- Enter Outgoing Mail Server name;
- Enter User name (make sure to type full email address in
this field).
- Click OK to save settings.
Now your netscape mail is configured and you are welcome to use
it.
