Configuring Netscape Messenger for Windows

This document describes how to configure Netscape Messenger version 7.01 for Windows to collect UW-River Falls email. This information is provided for informational purposes only. Netscape Messenger is not supported by IT Services.

These are instructions here for configuring a new account in Messenger or for updating the settings of an account that has already been setup. You may wish to print these instructions.

Configuring a new account

If you already have an account from another Internet Service Provider, you may wish to add another account to check your UW-River Falls email. If this is the case, use the Netscape Profile Manager to create a new account.

When you first launch Messenger using a new profile, you are presented with the Account Wizard. Accept the default choice of Email account and click Next.

In then next screen, fill in your name and UWRF email address as below. For best results, be sure to use the full, accepted email address for your account.

At the screen below, select IMAP and fill in the Incoming Server and Outgoing Server information. Important! If you are connecting through another Internet Service Provider, you will need to provide that ISP's SMTP server information in the dialogue box below.

Next, add your Falcon account username as pictured below. Please use a lower-case 'w'. If you don't know your Falcon account username, please use FAA to find that information.

The Account name dialogue will appear next. Accept the default or change it to your liking and click Next, then Finish. For IMAP to work correctly you will need to adjust a few more settings. Please proceed to the configuring copies and folders step.
