Retrieving email with Netscape Communicator

Our Netscape Communicator tutorial shows how to setup Communicator to retrieve email from your Stellar Design accounts. To configure Communicator, follow the simple instructions below.

Open Communicator and choose "Edit" from the menu bar.

Choose "Preferences".

We will use the example of an account with Renaissance Hosting with the following account info:

Domain name:  xyz.com

Userid:  abcdefg

In the tree structure on the left side of the dialog box, select "Identity", which is under "Mail & Groups".  Fill in the boxes as follows:

Your Name:  Your Name

Email address:  abcdefg@xyz.com

Reply-to address:   something@xyz.com

Now, in the tree structure on the left side of the dialog box, select "Mail Server", which is also under "Mail & Groups".  Fill in the boxes as follows:

Mail server user name:   abcdefg

Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: xyz.com

Incoming mail server:  mail.xyz.com

Then click on "OK".
