Configuring Email for Netscape 3.0x

This page will show you screenprints in order to walk you through setting up your email using Netscape Navigator 3.0x. The actual screenprints are from version 3.04, but the process is almost identical in all 3.0x versions.

Opening "Mail and News Preferences" in the Options menu

Click on the "Options" menu in the upper lefthand corner of your browser and select "Mail and News Preferences", as shown in the image below:

Setting the "Mail and News" options

The Mail and News window opens on the tab labeled "Appearance". Find the area labeled When sending and receiving electronic Mail: and select the first radio button, the one labeled Use Netscape for Mail and News, as shown in the image below.

Now click on the tab labeled"Servers". In the first blank, Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: you should type in mail.terranova.net. In the next blank, Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: you should enter the same thing, mail.terranova.net. For the next blank, POP3 User Name:, you will need to enter your Username that you have been assigned.

Now we move on to the next section, labeled "News" , found just a bit further down the window. In the first blank, labeled News (NTTP) Server:, you should type in news.terranova.net. That is it for the Servers settings. Please look at the image below.

Now click on the tab labeled Identity at the top of that window. Here you will have to fill in Your Name:, with whatever you would like to appear on all of your outgoing email. Your first name and last name should be OK. Next, fill in the space labeled Your Email: with your username, that you use to login with, plus @terranova.net, so that it looks like username@terranova.net . That is all we need to specify in that section. Please look at the image below.

Now click on the last tab, labeled Organization . If you do not want to have to type in your password each time you want to check for new mail, you will need to check the box labeled Remember Mail Password. That is all that we need to set. Please look at the image below.

You should now have your email client setup correctly. Click on the "OK" button to close the "Mail and News Preferences" window.
