| You are in: Netscape 6 > Creating Mail
Account To add an email account in Netscape 6, open
Netscape and go into the mail package (by clicking Tasks
at the top and selecting Mail from the menu).
If Netscape 6 has never been set up for mail before, the
Account Wizard will open when you try and use the mail
package for the first time. Click here to jump to the wizard.
Once the mail package has opened click Edit.
Select Mail/News Account Settings.
Click the New Account button to open the Account
Wizard.
Ensure ISP or email provider is selected.
Click Next.
On this screen enter Your Name – you can use capital
letters and spaces here. This is your real name, and will appear
as the 'from' name on emails that you send. Under here enter
your Email Address, this should not contain capital
letters or spaces.
Click Next.
If Netscape hasn’t been setup for email before, this screen will
appear – scroll down to the next image if the Server Information
screen on your computer looks different.
Ensure the Server Type is set to POP Mail Server. Under here
enter the incoming Server Name as mail.freeola.net – ensure this
is in lowercase letters and no spaces are included.
Under Outgoing (SMTP) Server, type your local ISP's SMTP address
in the SMTP text box. Check with your ISP for details. If you
connect to the Internet via another ISP, you should use the
Outgoing mail server used by the connecting Internet Service
Provider.
Note: that if you connect to the
Internet via another ISP, you should use the Outgoing mail
server used by the connecting Internet Service Provider.
Click Next to this screen.
If Netscape has previously been setup, this screen will appear
for the Server Information (scroll down to the next image if you
filled in the first Server Information screen shown above).
Ensure the Server Type is set to POP Mail Server. Under here
enter the incoming Server Name as mail.freeola.net – ensure this
is in lowercase letters and no spaces are included.
Netscape 6 uses 1 outgoing mail (SMTP) server for all email
accounts you enter. The current outgoing mail server will be
shown at the bottom of this screen. In order to send through the
specified outgoing mail server, you will need to be connecting
to the Internet using the ISP whose mail server you are using.
You can add other outgoing mail servers, and pick the server you
want to use to send emails (remember that you must use the
outgoing mail server of the ISP you are connecting with), this
is shown in the Checking Email Settings section.
Click Next to this screen.
Enter your User Name (no capital letters or spaces).
Click Next.
Enter a name for this email account in the Account Name field.
This can be anything you like, but calling it "theopenworld.com
mail" makes sense.
Click Next.
On this final screen, the User Name, Email Address etc that you
entered for this email account will be displayed. If these are
incorrect, you can use the Back button to amend any mistakes.
Click Finish to save your email account.
That's it! You're ready to go and send e-mails using your
theopenworld.com e-mail account. |
