Please follow
the
step-by-step
instructions
below to
configure
Netscape
Communicator's
Messenger e-mail
client to check
your
Chesapeake.Net
e-mail account. Please note that not all versions of Netscape Communicator have their setting information in precisely the same place. These instructions apply specifically to
Netscape Communicator 4.6
, but with
slight
alterations
should
remain
relatively
applicable to
other 4.x
versions as
well. When
in doubt,
refer to
Communicator's
online help to
aid you in
finding
exact
setting locations.
Also not that the
Standalone Netscape Navigator 4.x Brower
does not
include the Messenger e-mail client. You must download the full Communicator Suite to use the Messenger Program.
- Select
Edit
, then
Preferences
, from the Netscape Communicator Menu Bar as shown in the
illustration below.

" is your email
account username as listed on your

Mail Servers
menu item and fill in the
Outgoing mail (SMTP) server

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for outgoing messages
should always be set to

We recommend leaving the
Local mail directory
to its default option, which is typically already
set, but you can specify an alternate location if you would like to.
-
Now click on the
Add...
button to the right of the
Incoming Mail Servers
window, which will give
the following screen. Enter the
Server Name
and
User Name
as they are entered below,
making sure that the
Server Type
is set to
POP3 Server
.

The other settings can be set as per your own preferences, including those on the
POP
tab. Hit
the
OK
button when done.
-
Click on the
Newsgroups Servers
menu item, and then the
Add
button to get to the following
screen. Enter all information exactly as it shows below, and then hit
OK
.
-
The settings in all other sections of Netscape Communicator either do not affect E-Mail or may
be configured according to your personal preferences. If you are not sure what a particular
setting does, refer to the Netscape Communicator online help for guidance and information.
