In netscape Communicator 4.6
Edit Menu Select Preferences (at the bottom)
Open Mail and Newsgroups so the detail list shows
Click Mail Servers
outgoing mail server needs to be configured here and probably your
username.
the entries may not be the same as the incoming mail server's name. At
my ISP, the entries are
Incoming: pop.tiac.net
Outgoing: smtp.tiac.net
Username: pac1
ssl never is checked
