1. Configuring Outlook Express

To configure your Outlook Express or any other e-mail client, you need to know your POP3 and SMTP servers. To find them out:

POP3 server: mail.lacpa.org.lb
SMTP server: mail.lacpa.org.lb

NOTE: some internet connection providers do not allow you to send email form your own outgoing mail servers. If, after setting your email, you are able to receive emails but not able to send, then this is most probably the case. Please contact your interenet connection provider and ask them for their outgoing SMTP mail server setting, and replace it. It should solve your problem.

To configure this email client with the POP before SMTP relay:

Open Outlook Express.
In the menu bar, go to the Tools drop-down menu and select Accounts.

On the page that shows, click Add and select Mail.

3. Configuring Netscape Mail

To configure your Netscape Mail or any other e-mail client, you need to know your POP3 and SMTP servers.

POP3 server: mail.lacpa.org.lb
SMTP server: mail.lacpa.org.lb

Configuring Netscape Email

To configure this email client with the POP before SMTP relay: Open Netscape Mail.
(attention: Netscape 4.7 is not compatible with our email services.)
Note: Netscape users may experience problems with collecting their mail. In this case, mail server login name must be written with the % character instead of the @ sign, e.g. username%example.com. Netscape only supports a clear-text SMTP AUTH protocol so SSL use is required.

In the top menu bar, select Preferences from the Edit drop-down menu.

Click Mail and Newsgroups in the left menu and select Identity.
On the page that appears:
enter your name as the following example shows;
enter the email address of the account you're setting up;
enter the reply email address (usually the same as email address).

Select Mail Servers in the left menu and click Add against the Incoming Mail Servers field.

On the dialog window that shows, choose the General tab and fill the form:

Enter the Server name;
Choose POP as Server type

Select Remember password if you want to login to your mail account without having to type a password every time.
