Setup Netscape Email

Netscape 4 Note: Netscape 4 users are urged to upgrade to version 8 as version 4 does not include a setting for SMTP authentication. Instead, at least once per session — the first time you send a message and each time your email connection is lost — you'll be required to enter the password for your email account before an outgoing message is sent. You can download the Netscape 8 upgrade from the Netscape website:
