Open Netscape Communicator 4.8.

The 'Creating a New Profile' wizard will appear.

Click 'Next'.

Enter your Name and Email Address

This is where you can choose what name will be displayed in the FROM area when you send an email. A good idea is to use your real name or business name (if this is a generic mailbox).

'Your Name':
Replace with: Your Name

This is also where you type in your email address.

'Email Address':
Replace with: your_email@your_website_address.com

Click 'Next'.

Choose a Name and Directory for your Profile

This is the name that Netscape Communicator will use to store your information, so a good idea is to keep it the same as what you put in the previous screen for 'Your Name'.

Replace with: Your Name

This screen will also allow you to setup where your Netscape Profile will be saved to. We recommend that you use the default directory already listed.

Click 'Next' to continue.

Set up your Outgoing Mail Server

'Outgoing mail (SMTP) server':
Replace with: mail.your_website_address.com

Click 'Next'.

Set up your Incoming Mail Server

'Mail server user name':
Replace with: your_email.your_website_address.com

'Incoming mail server':
Replace with: mail.your_website_address.com

'Mail Server type':
Put a dot in 'POP'.

Click 'Finish' and it will open up Netscape Communicator where you can click on the Mail & Newsgroups icon to launch your email program.

You should be able to send and receive email.

Change your outgoing mail (SMTP) port from the default of 25 to 1025.

To do this:

Click on the 'Edit' menu > 'Preferences...' > 'Mail Servers' sub-category on the left.

Change the 'Outgoing mail (SMTP) server' from 'Replace with: mail.your_website_address.com' to 'Replace with: mail.your_website_address.com:1025'.
