Everyone's favorite web browser has a great email client built right in. Many of the staff here at PlusOneHost use Netscape mail for their personal email accounts. The following is specifically for Netscape Communicator 4.5. If you are using a Mac, the configuration is very similar.

Click on "Edit", then "Preferences".

Your Netscape preference window will open up. You need to the select "Mail & Newsgroups" Then select "Mail Servers": Under "Mail Servers" you will see several boxes. The first one is "Incoming Mail Servers", click on "add" or "edit" depending on whether or not there is anything in this box.

Once you click on "Add" or "Edit" a new window will open up called "Mail Server Properties". Fill out the following fields as follows:
  1. Server Name: mail.dns-host.com
  2. Server Type: make sure that "POP3 Server" is selected.
  3. User Name: Your login. ie; abc1234

Make sure the "remember password is selected if you DON'T want to have to type it in each time you check your email. Click on "OK", then "OK" again, and you will have properly configured your Netscape to download and send your email. Note: If you want to customize it a bit more, under the categories, select "Identity". Fill out the info as you want your recipients to see.
