To create the additional e-mail box on your computer if you do not have Qwest.net connection software

Instructions for creating the additional e-mail box on your computer depend on your software:

Netscape: Create a new Netscape User Profile for each e-mail box you add

Once an additional e-mail box has been created in the Account Manager, the new secondary account will be ready on the server within 30 minutes.

To access the new account you must create a new profile in the browser software on your computer. A separate profile is needed for each individual e-mail box on your account.

After completing the instructions below, you will be given a choice of which e-mail box you want to open each time you start Netscape. (Note: The profile for your first e-mail box was set up automatically for you when you registered.)

To access a second e-mail box during a session, you must first quit Netscape, then launch Netscape again to go into the second e-mail box.

1. Record server information:

Before setting up your new profile, first record your Incoming and Outgoing server information:

1. Open Netscape Communicator using your original subscriber profile or primary account. If you presently have only one mail box or profile, simply launch Netscape Communicator as usual (click the Netscape icon on your desktop).
2. Under the Edit menu, select Preferences.
3. Inside the Preferences window, expand the Mail & Newsgroups menu by clicking on the "+" or triangle to the left of the title.
4. Click Mail Server under Mail & Newsgroups. Mail Server settings appear to the right.
5. Write down the information in the following two boxes: Outgoing mail (SMTP) server and Incoming Mail Servers. (Note: The information should be the same in both boxes. Example: pop.dnvr.qwest.net)
6. Click Cancel.
7. WAIT! To use the User Profile Manager, you will need to quit Netscape. Before doing that, print or write down the instructions below in the gray box, which you will need to follow next.
8. Close Netscape Communicator.

Troubleshooting e-mail problems with Netscape

If you have already created a new profile for the additional e-mail box and are unable to access mail or news, you must modify your Netscape Preferences as follows:

1. Open Netscape Communicator using your original user profile or primary account. (If you have a Qwest.net icon on your desktop, click Connect to open Netscape Communicator.)
2. Under the Edit menu, select Preferences.
3. Inside the Preferences window, click on the "+" or triangle to the left of the title to expand the Mail & Newsgroups menu.
4. Click Mail Server under Mail & Newsgroups. Mail Server settings appear to the right.
5. Write down the information in the following two boxes: Outgoing mail (SMTP) server and Incoming Mail Servers. (Note: The information should be the same in both boxes. Example: pop.dnvr.qwest.net)
6. Click Cancel. Quit Netscape Communicator.
7. Open Netscape Communicator again, this time using your new profile or new sub-account.
8. In Netscape, from the Edit menu, select Preferences. Again expand the Mail & Newsgroups menu by clicking on the "+" or triangle to the left of the title.
9. Click Mail Server under Mail & Newsgroups. In both the Incoming Mail Servers box and the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server box, select mail and then enter the server information you recorded above, such as "pop.dnvr.qwest.net" (without the quotes). Now, each of these two boxes contains only an address such as pop.xxxx.qwest.net (where "xxxx" is four letters specific to the server in your area).
10. Under the Mail & Newsgroups category, click Newsgroup Servers. Replace news with news.qwest.net. Now, the Newsgroup Servers box contains only news.qwest.net.
11. Click OK. The preferences window will save your changes and close.
