How to configure an email account in Netscape
The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to setup an email account in the desktop program Netscape so that you will be able to send and receive email. We are going to assume that you have already created your new email address in your hosting cPanel. If you need assistance in doing this, please view the tutorial named: How to create a POP email account. Remember, this program will NOT work if you have not created the email address already.
You are now back to the main screen and are almost done, except we need to configure the email properties. On the left hand side, find the email account we have just created. It will be listed by the name you gave it, such as *Work Account*, *School Friends Account* or whatever name you chose. Click on the name of the account and in the main window, click on the View Settings for this Account. This is where we will edit the account settings:
SMTP authentication means that Netscape will login to your mail server even when sending and not just when receiving emails, ensuring that you are the only one that can send emails from your account. Most SMTP servers use the same username and password as the incoming (POP3) servers so enter the username again in the next box. Scroll down and click OK when finished. You are now back at the main screen. You have successfully setup an email account and are ready to send and receive email from Netscape. You can add as many accounts as you wish but remember, you must create the email accounts in your hosting cPanel first or they will NOT work.
