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.
