Hi,
I use Yahoo mail and NetZero ISP service. Now what mail servers do I have to mention in my Netscape's mail settings? Do I have to mention Yahoo mail server or NetZero mail servers?

regards

It appears you want to use the incoming mail server as pop.mail.yahoo.com and the outgoing as Netzero's server.

Hi there!
If you want to retrieve mail from your Yahoo mailbox you have to mention the Yahoo server.
If you want to retrieve both, mail from your Yahoo account AND from a mailbox at your ISP, you're in trouble with the Netscape Messenger as he only accepts multiple IMAP servers and not POP3.(At least my version of Netscape says so...)
If you want to retrieve mails from both mailboxes I'd propose to forward one of the mailboxes to the other mailbox and then retrive only the other one. I.e.: forward your Yahoo mail to your ISP mailbox and retrieve the contents of the ISP mailbox or vice versa.
Greetings

In the set up of netzero,open netzero and click the email button at the top you will then be prompted to configure email setup,it will configure thru the import/export to be used with your present email server,thru your browser using the mail configuration already setup.I would not try to configure the server for yahoo,just type in yahoo mail when you want at address,then add it too the favorites menu,this way you will not have to type in address every time you want to get your mail.

Go here for info on setting up your NetZero e-mail account using Netscape. http://www.netzero.net/support/email/email_setup_net4x.html
If your yahoo mail is web based than I agree with the answer of creating a shortcut to it and adding it to your favorites. I have clients who I have setup multiple e-mail accounts using NetZero has their ISP and although it can be done it is still somewhat of a hassle to use. Hope this helps. Jerry

If you are using www.yahioo.com for your mail then you don't have to set up any mail accounts in Netscape . if you want to use the yahoo POP3 server then you have to mension the POP3 servers of Yahoo in your mail settings . Since you are not using the POP3 servers of your ISP you don't have to set up an account for it in Netscape .
Good Luck !
