Configuring Netscape Messenger

 The following instructions cover typical usage of Netscape Messenger and assume the software has been installed correctly on your system.

The instructions are only for individuals with a direct Internet connection, by modem or network.

If you are behind a firewall or proxy server, the information below may not work. Consult your network administrator for more information.

Setting Up Netscape Messenger:

Open Messenger.

Click Edit on the menu bar.

Click Preferences in the Edit menu.

Click Identity under the Mail & Newsgroups section of the Preferences window.

Complete the following fields in the Preferences window

Your Name - The name from which any e-mail sent using this profile will display.

E-mail Address - The e-mail address from which any e-mail sent using this profile will display. This has to be an email address on Trusted servers.
  1. Click Mail Servers under the Mail & Newsgroups section of the Preferences box.
  2. Click Edit under Incoming Mail Servers.
  3. Complete the following fields in the Mail Server Properties Box:

    Server Name - pop.trusted.net

    Server Type - We use the POP3 protocol. Do not change the server type to anything besides POP3.

    User Name - username@trusted.net
  4. Click OK to return to the Preferences window.
  5. Complete the following fields under Outgoing Mail Server.
  • Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - smtp.trusted.net
  • Outgoing Mail Server User Name - username@trusted.net 
  1. Click OK to close the Preferences window.

Unfortunately, Netscape Messenger does not natively support retrieval of multiple e-mail accounts for POP3 mail servers.

To retrieve mail from multiple accounts, you will need to setup additional user profiles using the User Profile Manager supplied with Netscape. See your Netscape documentation for more information.

There are many more options available in Netscape Messenger. See the software's documentation for more information about advanced options.
