  Netscape Navigator Instructions

Here are some tips and tricks for setting up Netscape Navigator. Before you start, you will need to know two things. One is your email address. This is always expressed with a fully qualified domain name. For example, "rj@brink.com" or "romeo@brink.org." The other is your username that we gave you. You will also need to know your password, of course.
  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@brink.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. For Outgoing Mail Server enter "www.brinkmedia.com:465" in the "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:" box. Don't forget the colon and 465. 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.

  4. 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 "www.brinkmedia.com" and the server type should be "POP." The user name should be what we gave you (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. You should check "Use secure connection (SSL)" on the IMAP tab.

That's all you need to do. Netscape is fully set up to safely and securely read mail from your mailbox at www.brinkmedia.com.

   
  Netscape v7.1 Instructions

Here are some tips and tricks for setting up Netscape Navigator. Before you start, you will need to know two things. One is your email address. This is always expressed with a fully qualified domain name. For example, "rj@brink.com" or "romeo@brink.org." The other is your username that we gave you. You will also need to know your password, of course.
  1. Open Netscape and go to Edit->Mail and Newsgroups. (There are other settings which determine things like how Netscape will edit your mail and whether you prefer text or HTML in the Preferences menu, but these don't have anything to do with getting connected to our mail servers.) The "Mail & Newsgroups" menu is what you need. You should have a list of accounts on the left, plus 'Local Folders', 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)' and perhaps 'Free Webmail.'

  2. Click on "Add Account." You are adding an Email account. Enter your own name (such as "Romeo Julieta") in the "Your name:" box, and your email address (such as "rj@brink.com") in the "Email address:" box.

  3. Now, we're going to add an Incoming Mail Server. The server name under "Incoming Server:" should be "www.brinkmedia.com" and the server type should be "POP." On the next screen, Netscape will ask you for the user name given to you by your email provider (that's us). The user name should be your Opus One mailbox name (such as rj or sovset123).

    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.

  4. Click on through to finish the setup.

  5. Some of the default settings Netscape has set up for your account are probably not what you want. If you leave them that way, you'll run out of disk space and be unable to send or receive mail through us. Click on the account you just created and go to Server Settings. The box "Check for new messages every 10 minutes" is checked; you want to uncheck that box.

  6. Make sure also that the "Leave messages on server" box is not checked.

  7. Now go to "Copies & Folders." Netscape is set to put copies of your outgoing mail in a folder attached to our server. You don't want to do that. Instead, select the "Sent" folder which is in Local Folders (i.e., on your own hard drive). Do the same for Drafts and Templates. You want these to be tied to your local hard drive, not your ISP.

  8. Click on Outgoing Sever (SMTP) Enter "www.brinkmedia.com:465" in the "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:" box. Don't forget the colon and 465. 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.

  9. That's all you need to do. Netscape is fully set up to safely and securely read mail from your mailbox at www.brinkmedia.com.
