Setting up SMTP Authentication for Netscape Mail 6 (for Macintosh)

Step 1: Using the Netscape 6 Tasks menu, select the Mail & Newsgroups option.

Step 2: In the Mail & Newsgroups window, click "View settings for this account" in the right-hand pane.

This action will open the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings window where SMTP configuration settings are made.

Step 3: Now in the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings window, select "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" in the left pane. The server name will already be filled in, so all you have to do is to click the box next to "Use name and password".

This will open the Advanced Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings window which lists all of the SMTP services/servers being used throughout the Netscape mail application.  Since there is a need for only one SMTP server to send e-mail, it is best to delete extraneous SMTP services.  Step 4 shows how to do this.

Step 4: In the Advanced Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings window, click on the "Advanced" button and delete any SMTP services except the ones associated with your account.

After closing the above windows, Netscape 6 will then be configured to use SMTP authentication.

You're Done !
