Setting up your Email Account in Netscape

These instructions will help you to set up your new email account on your server. This example uses UgotTraffic.com. Your host name will be different.

The instructions document the basic steps in connecting to the ugottraffic.com server, sending and receiving messages. These instructions may be difficult for new computer users to follow. They may also be slightly different for different versions of Netscape. I suggest that you use application help, some educated guessing and finally the e&systems support resources in navigating these instructions. Good luck and welcome aboard.

When you first connect to the mailbox for this account, Netscape will prompt you for a password. Enter your password and click the box to use the Password Manager to prevent future prompts for the password.

Note that above where you are instructed to enter your email address, use the full address as sent to you by the system administrator. Your full address should resemble accountname@yourdomain.com.
