How to Configure Netscape 7.1 Mail to work with SMTP Authentication.

 

Please Follow the steps below:

  1. First open up Netscape Mail and Newsgroups from the Windows Start menu. We assume you have already configured Netscape to read your mail (this document is about sending mail).

 

  1. Choose: Mail and Newsgroup Account Settings from the Edit menu.

 

 

 

  1. This will open the window below.

 

 

  1. Click on Server Settings and configure the window to look like the one below.

 

 

  1. IMPORTANT (no screenshot for this): click on Advanced... and for "IMAP Server directory", put mail/. Uncheck the boxes about subscribed folders and sub-folders, then click OK.
    Now click on Outgoing Server (SMTP) from the left hand navigation bar.

 

  1. Choose the Radio Button marked Always in the section labeled Use secure connection (SSL) on the lower right of the page.

 

  1. And in the Port Field type: 587

 

  1. Before you hit ok check to make sure your window looks like the one below, where joetest is your username on the COE system.

 

 

  1. Check to be sure there is only one outgoing mail server listed by clicking on the Advanced button.

 

  1. You see the screen below pop up. If there are any others listed remove them or make sure smtp.coe.neu.edu is selected by default by clicking on the Set Default button.

 

 

  1. That's it - you're done! Now you can send email using your COE account even if you are off-campus.
