Starting with Netscape
Communicator version 4, Netscape added a User Profile Manager
feature that allows several people who share
one computer to have separate storage areas
for their e-mail messages.
An example might be
a family. The parents could have one profile
(and e-mail address) for the parents e-mail and
the children could have another profile (and
e-mail address).
The User Profile Manager
keeps all of the messages separate. Each time
Communicator is started it will prompt for a
profile to use.
If you have not previously used Netscape Communicator you will need to run the Profile Manager to create the first profile for yourself. before you can setup Netscape
Communicator it is advisable to have NetDotCom activate any additional e-mail addresses for you. You can contact either by phone (330-369-3617) or by email to have your
account activated.
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.
The first window provides information about Creating a New Profiles. Click Next.
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 exactly as
given to you by NetDotCom. Please type in all
small letters without any spaces or
punctuation marks. Click Next.
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.
