CONFIGURING NETSCAPE 4.x+ E-MAIL

After starting Netscape, pull down the Edit menu, then select Preferences. Navigator is normally highlighted on the left. Make sure Netscape is configured to default to our home page. In the Home Page section, next to Location:, enter http://www.mm.com if it isn't already there and click OK. Pull down the Edit menu again and select Preferences.

Double-click on Mail & Newsgroups to make it display the sub-categories. Click on Identity.

Enter your name as you want it to appear in e-mail messages (for example: Jonathan Doe). There are no wrong answers in this field.

Enter your e-mail address (for example: jondoe@mm.com)

If the reply-to address is the same as the e-mail address, leave it blank.

Enter an organization name, if you like.

Signature can be left blank.

On the left-hand side, click on Mail Servers.

If nothing appears in the box under Incoming Mail Servers, click on the Add button, then for the Server Type, select POP3 Server. Server name is pop.mm.com and username is your 3-8 character maiilbox name. You may leave Remember password unchecked or check it. Click on the POP tab. You'll probably want to leave the box next to Leave messages on server unchecked. Click OK. Make sure that the field next to Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: says smtp.mm.com Click OK. If there is an entry in the box under Incoming Mail Servers, and you want to check/change the information, click once on the entry to highlight it and click the Edit button. If you're on a Mac, you may not have an Edit button; double click on the entry instead. Server Type is POP3 Server. Server name is pop.mm.com and username is your 3-8 character maiilbox name. You may leave Remember password unchecked or check it. Click on the POP tab. You'll probably want to leave the box next to Leave messages on server unchecked. Click OK. Make sure that the field next to Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: says smtp.mm.com Click OK.

PLEASE REMBER . . .
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE ON ALL YOUR COMPUTERS. MAKE SURE TO RUN IT AND UPDATE IT FREQUENTLY!! COMPUTER VIRUSES CAN BE ACQUIRED THROUGH OTHER MEANS THAN E-MAIL.

SOFTWARE TO COMBAT ADWARE AND SPYWARE IS ALSO A GOOD IDEA!

To COMBAT ADWARE, GO HERE.

NOTE: Ad-Aware is the name of the software that corrects the problem. Adware is the bad guy; it's not what you want. Yes, the names are very close. A good way to remember is: You're aware you need Ad-Aware.

TO COMBAT SPYWARE, GO HERE.
