Netscape Email Setup Support Guide
To configure your Netscape Mail or any other e-mail client, you need to know
your POP3 and SMTP servers. To find them out:
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
To configure this email client with the POP before SMTP relay:
-
Open Netscape Mail.
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.
