Incoming Mail Server = mail.ficaconnect.com.

Outgoing Mail Server = mail.ficaconnect.com.

SMTP Authentication (e-mail username) is required to send mail.

Suppose you have several people in the household using the same computer.  If every e-mail address were configured under the same profile, all the e-mail would be downloaded into the same place.  You would then have to sort through the e-mails finding which belonged to you and which belonged to any other user.  Profiles eliminate this hassle.  Creating a profile is like having your own version of Netscape; they help keep your mail from any other users of the computer.

Important:  to create a profile, Netscape must be closed.

Click Start, click All Programs (for 95,98,Me,NT, and 2000, click 'Programs'), select Netscape Communicator, Utilities, and then the User Profile Manager from the menus.

The Profile Manager appears.

Here you can create, rename, and/or delete profiles.

Click New to create a profile.

The Creating a New Profile window appears.

Click Next to continue.

Full Name  =  enter your name or a nick name.

Email Address  =  enter your e-mail address.

Click Next to continue.

Profile Name  =  give the profile a name.

Click Next to continue.

Outgoing mail (SMTP) server  =  enter the name address of the outgoing mail server:  mail.ispname.com.

Click Next to continue.

 

Mail server user name  =  enter the username of the e-mail account (everything before @ispname.com)

Incoming Mail Server  =  enter the name address of the incoming mail server:  mail.ispname.com.

Mail Server type  =  select POP3.

If you plan on creating a newsgroups account, click Next to continue.  Otherwise, click 'Finish'.

Important:  you still need to enable SMTP authentication or you will not be able to send e-mail.  Click the 'Editing e-mail accounts' link above to learn how to add SMTP authentication.

 

News (NNTP) server  =  enter the name address of the news server:  news.ispname.com.

Port  =  enter the default port 119.

Important:  you still need to enable NNTP authentication or you will not be able to log in to newsgroups.  Click here to learn how to add NNTP authentication.

Click Finish to complete the wizard.
