Using Netscape 2.02 or Netscape Gold:

Start up Netscape.

Go to the Options menu and select Mail and News Preferences.

At the top, you will see some tabs. Click on the tab marked Servers.

In the two slots marked Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server and Incoming Mail (POP3) Server, fill in mail.humboldt1.com.

In the slot marked POP3 User Name, enter your login name. This should be only the first part of your e-mail address. If your e-mail address were "support@humboldt1.com", then your POP3 User Name would be "support". Your POP3 User Name is also the same as the Login Name on your signup sheet. You should have received a copy of your signup sheet when you signed up with our service.

Now, at the top of the window, click on the tab marked Identity.

For Your Name, fill in your real name.

For Your Email and Reply-To Address, fill in your e-mail address.

Go ahead and leave Your Organization blank.

Now click on OK.

Go to the Window menu and select Netscape Mail.

If you are asked for your password, enter it and Netscape will check your mail. Otherwise, click on the Get Mail button in the upper left to check your mail.

On the left is a collection of mail folders. The Inbox folder contains your new mail. Click on the Inbox folder. A list of messages will appear in the window on the right.

Click on one of those messages to display it in the window at the bottom.

If you can't see your mail message, try this: put your pointer on the bottom of the Netscape window and slowly move it up until it changes to an equal sign; now click and hold your mouse button and move the pointer up until the line is halfway up the screen, then let go of your mouse button. This will make your window larger so you can see the message.

And that's how you read your e-mail with Netscape Mail.
