Netscape Mail

Netscape allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means that you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive email messages.

Important: Before you delete your current settings, make sure you write them down so you can check email from that account after you make these changes. Netscape only allows you to specify one POP server and one SMTP server at a time. Once you have done that, select the version of Netscape you're using and follow the steps:

• Netscape 7.x
• Netscape 6.2
• Netscape Versions 4.5, 4.61, and 4.7
