Email Configuration for Netscape Mail for Windows

How do I configure the Netscape Mail email program with my Surfanytime email address for Windows?

1. With the Netscape program opened, refer to the Window menu option, and select the option Netscape Mail. This will open the email client program built-in to Netscape.

2. Within Netscape Mail, refer to the Options menu, and select Mail and News Preferences. A dialog box will appear with five folder tabs labeled Appearance, Composition, Servers, Identity, and Organization. Click on the tab for Servers.

3. In the Servers section, you want to pay attention to the first three, where you would input the following:

  Outgoing Mail(SMTP) Server: smtp.surfanytime.net
  Incoming Mail(POP) Server: mail.surfanytime.net
  POP3 User Name: username@surfanytime.net

For the User Name, please replace "username" with your specific POP Username setting.

4. Once completed, click on the tab for Identity, and the following settings will appear:

  Your Name
  Your Email
  Reply-to Address
  Your Orgnization

You're more than welcome to input whatever you like for Your Name, with most users typically setting to their first and/or last name. The Your Email and Reply-to Address fields should be set to your specific Surfanytime email address, in the format of emailname@surfanytime.net, replacing "emailname" with your's. The Your Organization field can be left blank, or include anything of your choosing.

5. That covers it for the settings. In order to check for incoming messages, refer to the File menu in Netscape Mail, and select the option "Get New Mail", or use the keyboard sequence "Ctrl+T" as a shortcut. Additionally, you can click the "Get Mail" button all the way to the left in the toolbar at the top of Netscape Mail. From there, input your password setting when prompted, and any new messages will appear in your mailbox.

To send a message, refer to the File menu and select the "New Mail Message" option, or use the keyboard sequence "Ctrl+M" as a shortcut. You can also click the "To:Mail" button in the top toolbar of Netscape Mail. Your message box will appear, and you would then input the email address you're sending to in the Mail To files, the subject in the Subject field, and then type your message in the body. Click the Send button to send your message once finished.
