Netscape Mail
and the slightly older version of this program called Netscape
Messenger, are both great programs to send and receive e-mail
messages. Your Netscape e-mail program can even be opened directly
from your Netscape web browser!
The Inbox is
where all new received messages go. The Unsent Messages shows messages
waiting to be sent. The Trash folder is where deleted items are
sent. Once e-mail messages are deleted from this folder, they are
permanently erased. Clicking the New Msg button will open a window
where you can write and send e-mail messages. The "To:" field is where you type the
recipients e-mail address i.e. username@bcgroup.net. The "Subject:"
field is where you type the subject for the message. And lastly,
the actual message is written in the area provided.
Once installed,
you can run Netscape Messenger/Mail through your Netscape web
browser or through your start menu, then programs menu.
This is just a
quick overview on basic usage of Netscape Messenger/Mail. Please visit the
Netscape website for further
