E-mail Settings

This section describes how to configure either Netscape Navigator 3 or Microsoft Outlook Express / Outlook for accessing a Fine Line Design e-mail account. There are a lot of images on this page so it make take a while to download.

Note on E-mail Aliases: Each Fine Line Design e-mail account can contain up to 5 e-mail aliases.  However, all 5 of the e-mail aliases all pipe into the same e-mail account.  You only need to setup one e-mail account as described below, and you will be able to retrieve all e-mail from any of the 5 e-mail aliases.  Only if you have paid an additional monthly fee for additional e-mail accounts will you have to setup more than one account in Netscape or Microsoft Outlook.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are using your ISP (Earthlink, MSN, Comcast, SBC, etc.) to SEND mail, use the settings they provide for all OUTGOING SMTP mail server settings. Note that if you have AOL as your ISP, they do NOT allow the use of Outlook or other e-mail programs with their mail servers. In that case you must use the settings below.
