Netscape Navigator Instructions

1. Open Netscape and go to Edit->Preferences. The "Mail & Newsgroups" menu is what you need. Click on the triangle to expand it if it's not expanded already.

2. Click on Identity Enter your own name (such as "Romeo Julieta") in the "Your name:" box, and your email address (such as "rj@opus1.com") in the "Email address:" box. Everything else can be left blank (although you may want to come back and fill things in after you've gotten it working).

3. Click on Mail Servers. We're going to work on the "Outgoing Mail Server" part first. There are two possibilities. Either you are on an Opus One connected network (i.e., you are in Tucson and you have a direct line to Opus One, such as a DSL or T1 connection), or your are using some other ISP (cable modem, AOL, Earthlink, etc.). If you are on an Opus One network, follow the instructions in (4). If you are on some other ISP's network, follow the instructions in (5). If you roam between networks, use (5).

4. For Outgoing Mail Server (connected to Opus One networks). Enter "mail.opus1.com" in the "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:" box. Enter your mailbox name (such as rj or sovset123) in the "Outgoing mail server user name:" box. For "Use Secure Socket Layer (SSL)...," select "Never." This will give you the best performance.

5. For Outgoing Mail Server (connected to other ISPs). Enter "mail.opus1.com:2525" in the "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:" box. Don't forget the colon and 2525. Enter your mailbox name (such as rj or sovset123) in the "Outgoing mail server user name:" box. For "Use Secure Socket Layer (SSL)...," select "If Possible." This will give you the best security.

6. Now, we're going to add an Incoming Mail Server. If you have one in the list, click on it and delete it. Click "Add..." The server name should be "mail.opus1.com" and the server type should be "POP." The user name should be your Opus One mailbox name (such as rj or sovset123). If you want, select "Remember password." Do not check "Check for mail every ..." minutes. On the POP tab, it is very important that you do not check any boxes.

   99.99% of our users are POP users. If you are an IMAP user (you would know this) then the steps are the same except you should select "IMAP" as the server type. The IMAP and Advanced tab defaults are fine, unless you are not on the Opus One network, in which case you should check "Use secure connection (SSL)" on the IMAP tab.
