These are instructions for adding your departmental account to mozilla mail/netscape mail, or how to set up mozilla/netscape for the first time. If you are setting up mozilla mail for the first time, you may be automatically prompted with the new account wizzard. If that is so, you can skip to step 3.

Step: 1 Click the edit menu, and then click on "Mail & Newsgroups Acount Settings...

Step: 2 Click the Add Account button

Step: 3 When the new account wizard pops up, make sure Email account is selected and click next

Step: 4 In the identity section, fill in your name and departmental email address

Step: 5 In the server information window, make sure to select IMAP, and make sure to use:
imap.cs.kent.edu
as the incoming server, and
smtp.cs.kent.edu
as the outgoing server.

Step: 6 In the username window make sure you put in your DEPARTMENTAL username. This is typically the part of your email address that comes before the '@' symbol.

Step: 7 Now enter the name for your account. This is totally arbitrary, and doesn't affect the use of your account. (It's just the name that mozilla displays)

Step: 8 Now you just need to verify that all your settings are correct. If they are, click finish.

Step: 9 Now you are all done, and mozilla mail should try to connecto to the mail server, if it connects, it will prompt you for a password. Use your departmental acount password. (You can also opt for having mozilla store your password so that you won't be prompted again)

And that's it! You should see your emails show up!
