How do I set up my POP3 email account using Netscape on Windows?

These instructions should work for most recent Netscape versions, running on Microsoft Windows 98 and later.

• Launch Netscape Mail (Messenger)
  Under "Edit" select "Preferences" (for Netscape 6.x "Mail and Newsgroups Account Settings")
• Under "Mail & Newsgroups" select "Identity". Input these settings:
  • Your Name: The display name you want to appear when someone receives your email, this is NOT your email address, nor does it have to match anything
    (i.e. John Doe or ACME Sales)
  • Email address: Alias-you-chose@mydomain.com
    (i.e. john@thedoes.com or sales@acme.com)
• Under "Mail Servers" input these settings:
  • Click "edit" incoming mail server (or add if none are present).
  • Incoming email server type: POP (not IMAP)
  • Incoming server name: pop.mydomain.com
    (i.e. pop.thedoes.com or pop.acme.com)
  • User Name: Your full email address: alias-you-chose@mydomain.com
    (i.e. john@thedoes.com or sales@acme.com)
  • Press OK.
• Outgoing mail server: smtp.mydomain.com
  (i.e. smtp.thedoes.com or smtp.acme.com)
• Netscape 6.x users: Click Outgoing server settings menu item and check "Use name and password" box
• Outgoing mail server user name: Your full email address: alias-you-chose@mydomain.com
  (i.e. john@thedoes.com or sales@acme.com)
• Click "OK". Restart Netscape.
