Just discovered this site. Thanks for being here! Took me almost a month of back and forth emails to Netscape for answers to questions they didn't even answer. I see now they are charging $9.95 per email now.

Question: I would like to add another netscape email address to the mail alert window in aim. I found out where to do it, but am having problems in the how (and I can't find the answer in aim help). What is the "pop3 server name" and the "pop3 email program" for my netscape email account?

ALSO: I've seen posted where people are disabling their aim on install. Is there any reason for me to be concerned about aim?

TIA

I will start with the last question. If they can they will do it. There may be problems if you use a different IM, in presence of AIM. Otherwise, some people do not like to see something which they did not ask for. And, AOL is infamous for dropping off things. In fact, some people cringe at the fact that there is a line with Account, called Webmail. It does absolutely nothing unless you click on it, but it is the principle. I have tunnel vision of sorts, and I don't waste time on this pettiness.
AIM is essential if you want to set up your Netscape Webmail(see above), or to access AOL mail outside of its crummy IE-based program.
I do not know what e-mail you are referring to, which charges $9.95. Everybody started doing it to set up your mail as a POP account. Netscape will not answer unless you pay. That's why there are sites like this.
Now for your question on Netscape mail. I assume that you are talking about Webmail, and not an account which is not Netscape. I don't have a clue on how to do it in AIM/NIM, because I don't want to be bothered, and IM does not come up, but I can tell you how to set up Netscape Webmail.
You can start from the Mail and News Wizard, or clicking the Webmail thing on your mail list. You do not have to anything else to set it up other than entering your username. The only mysterious thing is that you must use your IM password to get your Netscape Webmail.
If you meant something else, please specify. It can get very confusing.

Thanks for the post Fulvio.

The questions I had was specific to aim:

"I would like to add another netscape email address to the mail alert window in aim. I found out where to do it, but am having problems in the how (and I can't find the answer in aim help). What is the "pop3 server name" and the "pop3 email program" for my netscape email account?"

The mail alert window is in aim, it opens a window showing the netscape email account and the # of emails. I want to be able to add a second email account to this.

I found out how to access in aim how to add an account, but they are asking me questions about the netscape email account I cannot answer: What is the "pop3 server name" and the "pop3 email program" for my netscape email account?

I looked in aim, could not find out how to find this out.

Please point me in the right direction...

TIA

There is no pop3 server name nor pop3 mail program for Netscape Webmail. It does not matter if it is for mail or IM.
And, here I have to reiterate that with Webmail, you use the Mail and Newsgroups Settings Wizard. And it is very straightforward, and the net effect is that the server will be a special IMAP. That's entered automatically. I have no idea about setting up IM, but I do not think that it is any different. The only thing that I am sure is that one could have more than one username but only a single password.

I think what kah707 wanted to know is, is there a way to configure AIM so that when one is logged onto AIM, she/he can get notifications (through AIM) when new Netscape Webmail arrives in their Netscape Webmail account?

the "pop3 email program" is the program that you want AIM to open to access your email. i still have no idea what the pop3 server name is supposed to be, but if your email account is on netscape then i think typing netscape.net works. i get alerts for when i have emails on that account. hope that helps

You can set netscape.net mail, if you mean that, only as IMAP account. and, it usually does not work. If you want to link with AIM, you will need some other mmail service. You must have your ISP, and you may be able to get another account, just for AIM.
But, I am not sure what you want to do. In my case, I do not use any IM, and I do not want AIM/NIM to start with the browser, since I have no use for it.
By the way, do not be surprise about Netscape charging. The program is free, and there are a lot of newsgroups around which take the place of the tech people. And, someone will know more than they do, at such newsgroups. I had a HP CD burner installed in my computer, and from day one, there was a charge for so-called support. And, I had paid over $350 for the thing, about four years ago.
