Configuring
Netscape Mail
To configure your Netscape Mail or any other e-mail client, you
need to know your POP3 and SMTP servers. To find them out:
- Log into H-Sphere control panel;
- Click Mail Service on your control panel home page.
Your provider's mail server may use different SMTP relays for sending
mail - POP before SMTP or SMTP AUTH. In POP before
SMTP, the relay system collects your IP address when you authenticate
yourself with the POP server, and then permits SMTP relaying from
that IP address for a short period of time. In other words, if your
server uses POP before SMTP, you need to check your mail first,
only then you can send your messages. If your mail servers uses
SMTP AUTH, you must configure your Outlook Express to send
a login and password not only when you receive mail, but also when
you send it. Ask your provider which relay the server uses.
Configuring Netscape Email (POP
before SMTP relay)
To configure this email client with the POP before SMTP
relay:
Note: Netscape users may experience problems with collecting
their mail. In this case, mail server login name must be written
with the % character instead of the @ sign, e.g. username%example.com.
Netscape only supports a clear-text SMTP AUTH protocol so SSL
use is required.
