Netscape 4 E-mail Setup

Step 6

After clicking on the Identity item, the Preferences dialog box should look something like this.

In some cases, you may already have some information filled-out.

How to fill out this page:

Type your name in the Your name field.
Type it as you would want others to see your name. For this example, we are going to use the name "John Doe."

Type your e-mail address in the Email address field.
Your e-mail address is simply username@ala.net -- where username is the user name that you log on to AlaNet with. For our example, John Doe's AlaNet username is doej, so that makes his e-mail address doej@ala.net

Type your e-mail address in the Reply-to address field.
This is optional. This field can specify an address other than the one you normally send from for people to send replies.

Type your business name or family name in the Organization field.
If you are using this account mainly from the office for work relating purposes, you need to specify your business's name -- like "Doe Moving Company" for example. If you are using this account mainly from home or for personal use, then just type in your family name or leave it blank. For this example, John Doe decides to use his family's name in this field.

Other options
The above options are advanced topics and not covered in this tutorial. Please see the Netscape Communicator main page for tutorials on advanced features.
