| To configure your Netscape Mail or
any other e-mail client, you need to know your POP3 and SMTP
servers. To find them out:
- Log into H-Sphere control panel;
- Click Mail Service on your control panel home page.
Your provider's mail server may use different SMTP relays for sending
mail - POP before SMTP
or SMTP AUTH. In POP before SMTP, therelay system collects
your IP address when you authenticate yourself with the POP server,
and thenpermits SMTP relaying from that IP
address for a short period of time. In other words, if your server
uses POP before SMTP, you
need to check your mail first, only then you can send your messages.
If your mail servers uses SMTP AUTH, you must configure your
Outlook Express to send a login and password not only when you receive
mail, but also when you send it. Ask your provider which relay the
server uses.
