How
to Configure Netscape Communicator 4.x so That You Can Send Netscape Mail
NOTE:
The Media Center is the only computing site on campus that allows you to
send Netscape Mail from the local computer. All other sites require you
to use NetscapeMail from your Unix (i.e. copland) account. These instructions
will work in the Media Center and on computers in your dorm room or home.
They will not work at the other public computing sites.
-
Open Netscape Communicator, located in the
Communications
folder on Media Center computers. Click Edit
on the menu bar at the top. A menu will drop down from which you can
highlight and select Preferences.
-
You should now see the dialog box labeled
Preferences.
The left column has a field labeled Mail &
Groups preceded by a plus sign. Open this by clicking once on
the plus sign. The plus will change
to a minus sign and you’ll see fields labeled Identity, Messages, Mail
Server, Groups Server, and Directory. Double click on the Identity
field. The Identity dialog box will open, looking like this:
-
At
the Your Name field, type your
given name. At the Your Email field,
type your email address. Leave the Reply-to-Address
field blank unless you want email replied to at a different address than
your email address.
-
While the Preferences
dialog box is still open, double click on Mail
Servers which is also in the left column under Identity.
Make sure that Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
is
set to mail.udel.edu.
Leave
the mail server User Name blank.
-
Leave the other settings alone. It is okay
but not necessary for Incoming Mail (POP3)
to be set to mail.udel.edu also.
-
Click the OK
button to save your settings and return to the Netscape browser. You may
now send email using Netscape mail. Spanish 105, 106 and 107 students can
now send email to their instructor from their class web page.
