One or more email accounts and their passwords will be supplied to you by IHS personnel. In the examples that follow, you will always use the email account you are working on to replace the terms "YourEmail" or "YourAddress" or "YourEmailAddress." In addition, you wil use your own domain, e.g., IHSsoftware.com is our domain, to replace the term "YourDomain.xxx" wherever it appears. NOTE: All of the entries in this exercise are case-sensitive, meaning that you must type upper-case and lower-case letters exactly as they were given you by IHS or it just won't work. The entire thing will be done in carefully meastured steps as follows:
|
|
| 1. Start Netscape Navigator 7.0 and select Email on the Tools menu. On the mail screen, Select FILE >> NEW >> ACOUNT as indicated in the illustration. |
|
| 2. Now you should be looking at a window like the one shown here. As indicated on the screen, be sure the "email" radio button is selected. When you have finished click the NEXT button. |
| 3. In the upper text box on this screen, enter you name and company name as you want it to display when you send a message, i.e., Wallace Allison at IHS, Incorporated. What you enter is free-form and entirely up to you, but do manage to keep it short and have it Identify you to your email's recipients. In the lower text box, use your email address and your domain name and enter them as shown with the at-sign (@) between them. Be sure to check your typing before you hit the NEXT button on this window. |
| 4. On this screen, select POP3. Again, use your domain name and type in "mail." plus your domain name in the text box. Again, be sure to check your typing before you click the NEXT button to move on. |
| 5. On this screen, type youremail address as it has been given you by IHS, the at-sign (@) and your domain name into the upper text box. Check your typing. Click the NEXT button to move on. |
| 6. Here, enter a name for the account, i.e., "My Work Account" would be fine--just keep it short and memorable. When you are fnished, click the NEXT button to continue. |
| 7. Take a minute here to check your typing/spelling, then just click the FINISH button. |
| 8. Now you should see the email manager page--something like the one shown here. In the left-most pane of the window, click on your new email account to highlight it. |
| 9. Now select the EDIT >> MAIL & Newsgroup Account Settings as indicated in the illustration. |
| 10. Begin by clicking on your new email account in the pane at left. Next, enter your "Reply-to" address as your email address given you by IHS. Then enter your company's name as you would like it to appear if someone were reading it. |
| 11. Next, click "Server Settings" under your new account in the pane at the left of your screen. Verify that everything is as shown and check the "automatically download any messages" box. |
|
12. Netscape Navigator will always try to use only one outgoing email server (the one you already have), its default, for all outgoing email. If this suits your fancy, you're finished. If it does not, follow these steps:
Click "OK" when you are finished here. |
As Microsoft says, Congratulations. You have just setup your email account and you're back at the email screen. Click on the your new account and click to read mail. The first time through, you will be asked for the password that IHS gave you--enter it, remember that case counts, and you should be into your email account. You should see no errors. If you do have errors, the chances are that you have mistyped either the Domain Name, the email address, or the password. Please go back to the EDIT> Mail Accounts and News Groups> screens and check for this plus re-enter your password. Then try this step again. If you still have errors, give IHS a call and we'll see what's going on.
