If you need more help to start netscape, then find a friend or neighbour who can lead you though these steps - it's amazing the different ways in which the internet can help you get to know people. You need to define a new email account for netscape to use. We do this by editing the netscape preferences. Click on the Edit menu and choose preferences.
Preferences control a lot of ways in which the communicator behaves.
Have a look around and see the sorts of things you can change. First you set your identity. If you type the wrong email address, people are not going to be able to reply to your messages, or worse still, someone else might get the replies. Now the communicator knows who you are, you need to tell it how to send your email and which mail servers to use. The outgoing user name is not actually used by bigwig.net at this stage, but may be at a later date.
