If you have used the mailbox
subfolder feature NetDotCom provides to
"code" the e-mail addresses you give
to web sites and other casual contacts. You
need to setup Netscape to retrieve the
messages stored in the subfolders that are
created when messages are sent to the coded
e-mail addresses.
The normal Netscape setup will only retrieve messages stored in the primary mailbox folder. Messages stored in subfolders are not retrieved unless specifically setup to using the steps
detailed below.
Click on Start > Programs > Netscape
Communicator > Utilities > User Profile Manager.
When the Profile Manager appears, click the
New button to create a new profile.
Note: If Netscape has not been used before
there will not be any existing profiles
listed.
In Full Name, type in your real
name or the name you want to appear on
messages you send to other people. In Email
Address, type in your email address,
inserting the codeword for this profile
so when you send messages they have the right
return e-mail address. If your e-mail address
is janedoe@netdotcom.com
please insert a hyphen then the codeword, ie. janedoe-codeword@netdotcom.com
before @netdotcom.com. Normally your e-mail
address should
be all small letters, however you can use
capitals to make it easier to read. No
spaces are permitted. Click Next to
proceed.
The next screen shows the profile name and
storage location of the profile. We recommend
that you leave both at the suggested settings.
Next, the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server
name needs to be typed in. The following
table indicates the proper mail server name to
use based on your selected NetDotCom e-mail
address. After the information is entered,
click Next to proceed.

In Mail server user name,
please type in your e-mail address and password
exactly as given to you by NetDotCom. This
must be typed in all small letters without
any spaces. Any mistakes will prevent you
from retrieving e-mail sent to
you. The Mail server user name
needs to include the codeword for this account
so you can retrieve messages from the proper
subfolder. Please type in your e-mail
address exactly as you did in the previous
step, including the proper codeword. Type in
your mailbox password at this time
also. These must be typed in all small
letters without any spaces. Any mistakes
here will prevent you from retrieving e-mail
from this subfolder. The 'check boxes' should
be selected as shown. Click Next to
proceed.
The Incoming Mail Server is the same as the
Outgoing mail (SMTP) server name used above.
Set the "Mail Server type" to POP3.
Click Next to proceed.
Leave the News (NNTP) server entry blank.
Click Finish to save the new profile,
Communicator will then start up.
If Netscape was never used or installed on
your computer the following screen will ask if
you want Netscape to be your default web
browser, click Yes.
After Netscape starts, click Edit
then Preferences.
In the Preferences window under Categories,
click on Navigator.
In "Location:", type in http://www.netdotcom.com
exactly as shown.
Next, click on the "+" (plus
sign) next to Mail & Newsgroups.
Under Categories, click on Mail Servers,
then in "Outgoing mail server user
name", type in your e-mail address with the codeword. This
must be typed in all small letters without
any spaces. Any mistakes will prevent you
from retrieving e-mail sent to
you. Then click on the Edit
button.
Next, click on the Edit button. In "User Name", type in your e-mail
address
exactly as you did on the previous step with
the codeword. This
must be typed in all small letters without
any spaces. Any mistakes will prevent you
from retrieving e-mail sent to
you. If you want Netscape to remember
your e-mail password, check the box shown. Then click on the OK button.
Click on the OK button to close the
Preferences window and begin using Netscape
If you have additional e-mail accounts or
codeword subfolders with
NetDotCom, run the User Profile
Manager as many times as you need, entering the appropriate information
for each profile.
