I have retrieved this info from outlook express (which I am trying to dump) after setting up the web browser (which I am loving!) and can't get past this problem. I am being forced to keep outlook until this is resolved (I've already deleted explorer 5.1, really like your product) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open mail section of browser 2.setup wizard opens, begin to enter info 3.when I come to po p server, wizard saays this is an invalid entry and holds up the process Actual Results: tried to go into prefs, no way to set pop server from there. Did enter smtp info from there, seems to be fine Expected Results: expected to log onto att's mail server and begin to use mozilla as my default mail program I am using a mac g3 (yeah, I know- it's being replaced soon) with o/s 9.2.2, on at&t's worldnet dial-up service. My setings are as follows: pop server- postoffice@att.net smtp server- mailhost.worldnet.att.net

You have to go into the Edit | Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings menu item. There you will find all the info you need under "Server Settings".

postoffice@att.net doesn't sound like a valid pop server. You need to enter a host name there (you'll be asked for the username later on).

If you are not sure what the SMTP server name is, contact your non-AT&T Worldnet Service ISP. * Ensure that the option My server requires authentication is checked. * User name or POP name: This is the first part of your e-mail address; everything before the @ symbol. * Ensure that the option Always connect to this account using is selected, and Local Area Network is chosen from the drop-down menu on the Connections tab. * Ensure that secure connection (SSL) is enabled and set to port number 465 for SMTP. * Ensure that secure connection (SSL) is enabled and set to port number 995 for POP3.
