Set up Email in Netscape 4


  1. To start up Netscape Composer, either click on your "Start menu," then "Programs" to load , or click on the inbox on the lower right-hand corner of your Netscape Communicator (the web browser) screen. Once that opens, you will be prompted with a window titled "Creating A New Profile." Click "Next."

  2. Now you will need to enter your personal information. Your Full Name is the name that you would like to appear as the sender name on the e-mails you send. Your E-mail Address is your Sentex Communications e-mail address. Click "Next" to continue.



  3. The next screen is used to name your profile, and identify where Netscape should store it. You can safely accept the defaults by clicking "Next."



  4. On the next screen, for your outgoing SMTP server, enter "smtp.sentex.net". Click "Next" to continue.



  5. This screen is used to identify yourself to the Sentex mail servers. Your username is the portion of your e-mail address before the "@" symbol - so if your e-mail address is asung@sentex.net, then your username would be asung. Enter your incoming mail server as "mail.sentex.net", and click "Next" to continue.



  6. This is an optional step. Netscape Composer includes newsgroups in its e-mail accounts. News is like an online discussion list, with many varied topics of discussion. If you would like to have access to newsgroups, please be aware that Sentex Communications does not and cannot control the topics of discussion or what is said on these newsgroups. If you decide that you want to participate in newsgroups, then enter your news server as "news.sentex.net". You can accept the default port of 119. Click "Next" to continue.



  7. Click on "Finish."

Congratulations! You have now finished setting up your Sentex Communications e-mail account with Netscape Composer 4.x.
