  Configuring Netscape 8.1 to access your Web mail:

Although Netscape 8.1 doesn't have an e-mail client, you can configure it to access your Web mail.  Do the following:

On the Toolbar, click the Up-arrow next to the Webmail tab and select Add Other E-Mail Account or Manage E-mail Accounts from the menu.

 

The Manage E-mail Accounts window appears.

By default, a Netscape Mail account has already been started.  You can click the Add Account button to configure a new account or just modify the Netscape Mail account.  We'll modify the existing account.

Provider  =  Click the down-arrow and select Other from the menu.
Description  =  Enter a name for the mail server you'll be accessing.
Display separately in toolbar  =  Check this box to have Netscape will create a button on the toolbar for accessing this mail server.
Inbox URL  =  Enter the name address of the incoming mail server.  It usually follows this format:  mail.ispname.com (or .net).
Write E-mail URL  =  You can just enter none in this field or leave it blank.
Address Book URL  =  You can just enter none in this field or leave it blank.

Click the button Make This My Primary Account.

Click the OK button.

 

If you checked the box Display separately in toolbar in the last step, the button appears on the main Netscape window.  Click the button.

 

You Web mail interface appears in the window.

Enter your username or e-mail address and password to access the e-mail and click the Log In button.

 

The Save New Passcard window appears.

If you'd like, Netscape can save the username and password in a passcard so you don't need to type it in each time you access your Web mail.

If you'd like to save the username and password, click the OK button.  If not click the Cancel button.

 

Your Web mail account opens.

Read, write, forward and reply to your messages.
