Leave Every thing BLANK except at bottom put check in Leave Mail on Server or uncheck it and mail will be deleted from the server when you receive it. Note: This is optional, some servers may limit their byte space and you may need to delete them as soon as you receive them in your mailer. 15 At the bottom, click on Close. You are done. It will now check mail at the narimasu.net site and put it in your Outlook Express. If you have more than one email address, OE will check all of your addresses for mail automatically. When sending out "NEW" message, you can click on the address in the From block, it will open up and show you all your email addresses, then select the one you wish to use for that particular message. If you wish, you can make a separate folder just for your narimasu mail. See other directions to do this. See NOTE for Everyone at bottom of this message. NETSCAPE Note: On Netscape you can only use one mail service. If you wish, keep a copy of the info currently in these blocks unless you are cancelling that service. 1. Click on Edit, then on Preferences 2. Click on Mail Servers 3. On Incoming Mail Servers click delete. Are you sure, YES. 4. Another screen comes up. 5. Server Name: mail.narimasu.net 6. Server Type: POP3 (you may have to click on arrow to get it). 7. User Name: username@narimasu.net 8. Check Remember Password 9. Check for Mail ever x mins is optional. 10. Check automatically download any new messages 11. At top of Menu click on POP 12. Put Check mark in Leave Mail on Server and leave other blocks blank. Click OK 11. Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: Your Primary ISP or connection to the Internet. (such as your AOL, rr, bellsouth, comast, etc.) 12. Outgoing mail server username: username@narimasu.net 13. Secure Socket Check NEVER 14. Click OK and you are finished. NOTE for Everyone: If you are online and bring up OE or Messenger, it will automatically go to all mail addresses such as your primary ISP and narimasu.net, and download any messages waiting for you. It will also upload any outgoing messages you have composed on your computer. Suppose you went out of town and wanted to check your email and you are across the country and don't have your computer. Maybe using a friend's computer. Note: Before going out of town you might want to delete your messages on narimasu.net Server. Because if you download new messages on someone elses' computer it will download every darn one of them, not just the new ones. This is where that block comes in that's marked Leave messages on server. Uncheck it, then go back to your mailer and check mail. It will get any new messages then delete all messages on the server. I would then go back and put a checkmark in the Leave Mail on Server. This way if you check mail out of town, you can still get them on your own computer when you get home. If you have your own computer with you and it's up to date with your mail then it will only download the new messages and you can ignore the above. If you don't have your computer, you can do this: Using a browser, type in http://webmail.narimasu.net/horde/ This will bring you to Web Mail. Type in your narimasu username@narimasu.net and password then click Login...click on Inbox, there's your mail. You can read and reply right from there. If you want to download these messages on your puter when you get back home, just leave them there then you can download it all with your mailer program.
