How do I set up Netscape to send and receive E-mail
To set up a mail or newsgroup account, first open the Window menu and choose Mail and Newsgroups. If you haven't already set up an account, the Account Wizard appears automatically, enabling you to set up an account.
The Account Wizard guides you through the process of creating a new account. If you don't know a setting, click Cancel and check the details in the 1&1 control panel.
If an account already exists, the Account Wizard doesn't appear automatically when the Mail window opens. Instead, after opening the Mail window, open the File menu and choose New, then Account. For more details, see Setting Up Additional Mail and News Accounts.
