How To Access Your Mail

To access the mail sent to fred@yourdomain.com, you could use Netscape mail, Outlook Express, Eudora, or any major email software. You would use the settings below:

E-mail address: fred@yourdomain.com
Username: fred
Incoming mail server: yourdomain.com
Outgoing mail server:  your local ISP settings or yourdomain.com

In most email software there is a setting, "Leave copy of messages on server". This should normally not be selected since it will result in your pop account on the server getting larger and larger. This will degrade your email performance.

Other mail settings can be left at the default settings.

Outlook Express: In Outlook Express you can change your mail settings or add multiple email accounts by selecting "Tools" then sub menu item "Accounts".

Netscape Messenger/Mail: If you use Netscape mail, you can change your mail settings by selecting "Edit" then submenu item "Preferences" then select "Mail and Newsgroups" from the list and expand it by clicking the +. Then you would just change the settings under the "Identity" and "Mail Server" items.

If you want to retrieve mail from separate pop email accounts using Netscape, this can be done by setting up separate profiles. To set up a Netscape profile on a Windows 95-98 PC using running Netscape Messenger you would:
1.) Click the "Start Button" at the lower left hand side of your screen.
2.) Go to "Programs", then submenu folder "Netscape Communicator", then submenu folder "Utilities", then submenu item "User Profile Manager".  Follow the on-screen instructions from there.
