These are the steps required to set up Netscape 4x to send and receive messages through Hotmail accounts using Webmail Retriever for Hotmail.

In summary you should set up an account as usual except that your server is "LocalHost".

Important: Netscape 4x does not allow you to change your ports. This means that to use Webmail Retriever for Hotmail you must use port 110 for POP and port 25 for SMTP within Webmail Retriever for Hotmail.
By default Webmail Retriever for Hotmail chooses these ports when you install, it will only choose different ports if port 110 and/or 25 are not available.

Step 1
Choose Edit > Preferences...

Step 2
Choose "Mail Servers"

Enter LocalHost (no spaces) as your Outgoing mail (SMTP) server.

Enter your user name:
For example: If your address is JDoe@Hotmail.com then you should enter "JDoe" as your user name.
If your address is Great_Guy625@Hotmail.com then your user name would be "Great_Guy625"

Then click the "Add" button in the top right corner.

Step 3

Enter "LocalHost" (no spaces) as your server name.

Select POP3 Server as the server type.

This must be the same name as you entered in step 2.

Click OK.
