>Netscape 4.7 as a POP Client</H3>
<p><strong>From Carlos Germn Siufi on Fri, 07 Jan 2000
</strong></p>
<!-- ::
Netscape 4.7 as a POP Client
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:: -->
<P><STRONG>
I can't connect to my pop3 account using Netscape Messenger v4.7. My
problem is my user ID. It's the e-mail address. Example:
<br>"<tt>username@domain.com</tt>"
<br>I think Netscape only sends "<tt>username</tt>" not
"<tt>username@domain.com</tt>". Now
I'm using the command <tt>fetchmail</tt> with the <tt>-u</tt> parameter.
Example:
<br>"<tt>fetchmail mail.domain.com -u username@domain.com</tt>".
<br>It works. How can I fix Netscape Messenger?

<BLOCKQUOTE>
My personal inclination would be to use <tt>fetchmail</tt> to fetch
your mail into your local spool (or inbox) and just use Netscape
Communicator on that. I'd also configure NS to feed
outgoing mail to my MTA (my local copy of <tt>sendmail</tt>) and
let that do my masquerading, or use its support for
"from" rewriting (through the <tt>genericstable</tt> FEATURE) and
other mail handling.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
If you really insist on using NS' built-in POP and SMTP
support and letting it do this stuff directly then I'd
just play with the entry in the "Edit, Preferences,
Identity" dialog, trying to put in your full username@
domain name address.
