To view your mail settings in Netscape 7 first open
your mail client, then go to the "Edit" menu and select "Mail & Newsgroups
Account Settings..."
-
Doing so will present you with Netscape's mail and
newsgroup configuration interface. By default, you will first be shown
your Account Settings. The "Account Name" and "Your Name" may be specified
however you please. Typically people use their real names in the "Your
Name" field, though you are not required to do so. The "Email Address"
must be an address that is hosted at pld.com for
our outgoing mail server to send your mail
-
By clicking the button labelled "Advanced" you may
choose which outgoing mail server you would like to use with this account.
Mail servers may be added to this list under the Outgoing Server (SMTP)
interface (detailed later below)
-
The Server Settings category on the left allows you to
specify the Server name, username, port, and various other settings
associated with retreiving email. The Server Type should be specified as
"POP Mail Server," the Server Name should be "mail.pld.com"
and your User Name should be in lowercase.
-
The Outgoing Server (SMTP) category should show that
you are using "mail.pld.com as your outgoing
mail server. It should not be necessary to specify the port to be used,
though mail.pld.com uses port 25 if you wish
to input it. Do not select "Use name and password" for outgoing mail, as
this will interfere with sending mail through our server.
-
If for any reason it becomes necessary to modify, add,
or remove an outgoing mail server from your Netscape 7 configuration,
click "Advanced" in the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) category. Here you
will be able to manipulate your outgoing mail server settings in detail.
-
Pioneer's outgoing mail
server name is mail.pld.com.
