   Re: Adding Email Provider   
   23 Dec 05 15:25:01   
   
   From: robertdia@hotmail.com   
      
   I'll try again.   
   I'm using netscape 8.0.4. The email is on a tab marked webmail on a   
   navigation bar. When webmail is selected, one of the dropdowns is add other   
   e-mail account.   
      
   In the window that opens, Manage E-Mail Accounts, when you select the   
   provider, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, the window that opens asks for your   
   email address & password. Then with the selected provider, when netscape   
   gets your mail, it has your account and password.   
      
   I'm using centurytel which is not in the provider dropdown list. When I   
   select other, it asks for inbound & write url's but does not have a areas to   
   enter the account and password.   
      
   When netscape goes to centurytel to get the mail, the connection is refused.   
      
   I need to create a provider, similar to hot mail, aol et cetera, for   
   centurytel that has the account and password entries.   
      
   Thanks again
