Setting up SMTP Authentication for Netscape Mail 4.7 (for Macintosh)

NOTE: In the directions below for Netscape, there is no explicit place to specify the use of SMTP authentication. Netscape handles it automatically. As long as the correct SMTP server and username is used, you only be prompted to enter a password only if SMTP authentication is implemented at the SMTP server and then only for the first time mail is sent using the authentication. If SMTP authentication is not implemented at the SMTP server, you will not be prompted for a password and your mail will pass through.

Instuctions
Step 1:  Using the Edit menu in Netscape, select Preferences.  This will open a Preferences window which contains the settings to change to allow SMTP authentication. [Edit -> Preferences]


Step 2:  In the Mail & Newsgroups category in the Preferences window, select Mail Servers.  This will open the Mail Server section of the preferences.  [Preferences Window -> Mail & Newgroups Category -> Select Mail Servers]

In the Outgoing Mail Server section, your SMTP server name will already be filled in. Enter the username (if not already filled in) to use for SMTP authentication.  (NOTE:  If the username is not listed, just use the same username that you use to check your e-mail.  Close the Preferences window by clicking the "OK" button.  This completes the setup for SMTP authentication.

You're Done!
