Re: Simple internal e-mail system for AS/400

To setup Netscape Messenger as a POP3 client of the AS/400 (using Messenger 
4.61), do the following:
  
  open up Messenger,
  click on Edit,
  click on Preferences...,
  expand Mail & Newsgroups (if it isn't already),
  click on Identity:
    Your name = your name (e.g., Todd Kidwell)
    Email address = email address for the AS/400 (e.g., 
todd.kidwell@myas400.com) 
    You can specify a separate email address to receive replies and/or choose a 
signature file.
  click Mail Servers
    click Add...
      You should see Mail Server Properties
        Server Name = name of AS/400 (e.g., myas400.com).  This should be a 
name that can be resolved via a host table or DNS to the IP address of your 
AS/400.  You could probably use the IP address, but I haven't tried it.
        Server Type = select POP3 Server
        User Name = you user profile on the AS/400 (e.g., kidwell)
      click OK,
  click OK,

At this point you should be all set.  You can compose a message and send it, or 
click on Get Msg to receive mail.  When you click on Get Msg, you should get a 
Password Entry Dialog box requesting your password.  The password is for your 
AS/400 user profile.  After you type in your valid password, you will see a 
Getting New Messages status box.

If you have any problems, let me know.  BTW, this same setup should work for 
any e-mail client that supports the POP3 protocol.  The setup steps may be a 
little different, but the principle is the same.
