 Netscape
Communicator 6x:
(Netscape Communicator version 6 or newer users please read this
first) In Netscape 6x installation,
you will be asked to provide or create a "screen name"
for their Instant Messager service (same service as AOL's AIM)
and online email account. You need to complete this step before
you can set up your email account. Screen Name can be anything
you like. My screen Name is "ckusnyc". Even though now
you have an AIM account but you don't have to use it ever.
Once you have a browser window open > click on the little envelope
icon at the bottom left of your browser window > it will open
the Mail window > then go to the Edit on the menu bar to select
Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings > From that point, you
can just follow the steps below. They are very similar.
