Netscape Email Setup InstructionsTo setup Netscape to work correctly with Forward Communications, The following instructions have been placed here for you to use. You will adjust the look of the screen, setup our home page as your startup web page and enter the email parameters for your account. These instructions are based on Version 3.01 (Standard or Gold) (Windows 95 or Windows 3.x). You should already have Netscape downloaded and the installation program (n32e301.exe or n16e301.exe) should have been run. If you have not already done so, go to the Internet Software page and get what you need now. After you load the software on you machine, run Netscape by double clicking on the Netscape Icon on your desktop or in the program manager. When the program comes up, go to the Options menu at the top of the screen and select General Preferences.  On the General Preferences screen, make sure the appearance tab is selected at the top. Then, in the Toolbar section select text only. Then, go down to the Browser Starts With section. Make sure Netscape Browser is the only one checked. If this is a new install, the address field should read http://home.netscape.com. Change the contents of the window to read http://www.forcomm.net. Press the OK button at the bottom of the General Preferences screen.  Go to the Options menu again and this time select Mail and News Preferences.  You will see 5 tabs across the top. Select the tab that reads Servers. The first two fields should both read mail.forcomm.net. The third field must be your email user name. It's the part of your email address that comes before the at sign (@). It will be on the information sheet sent to you from Forward Communications. Next, go down to the News section and put news.nauticom.net in the News (NNTP) Server field.  Next, select the Identity tab at the top of the screen. On this screen, we will fill in the first three fields. The first one is simple, it's just your real name. This name will appear in the header of every email you send out from Netscape. The next two fields are identical. They need to contain your full email address. You will find it on your information sheet.  Finally, you want to select the Organization tab at the top.

Don't forget, to check your mail, look for the small emvelope at the bottom right hand corner of the Netscape screen. It should look like this:
