Configuring Netscape Messenger 4 to use Apex POP3 Email

Netscape Messenger 4 is 100% compatible with our POP3 servers, to read/send email. We recommend Netscape Messenger 4 for a very compatible, versatile, and stable email program. To set up Netscape to read/send mail with your Apex account, please follow these steps:

1) Open Netscape Messenger (go to the Communicator menu and then to Messenger). If it is your first time running Netscape, accept all defaults in the setup Wizard.

2) Go to the Edit menu, then to Preferences. Under "Mail & Newsgroups", go to Identity. Double check that your full name and email address are correct in the appropriate fields. (See illustration below).

3) On the left go to "Mail Servers". On the right click the "Add" button. Enter "mail.apex-internet.com" for Server Name. Make sure the "Server Type" is set to POP3. Also enter your assigned username under "User Name". Make sure that "Check for mail every..." is checked, and that the value is 20 minutes or less. You can optionally check the box "Automatically download any new messages". Click OK to return to the Preferences window.

4) Make sure that "Outgoing mail sever" is set to "mail.apex-internet.com". You do not need to specify an "Outgoing mail server user name:".

5) Click OK to save the settings. You can now use Netscape to send and receive mail.
