It's time to reconfigure your netscape email to reflect our new name: vernoncollege.edu.

There are 6 easy steps and most of you will complete them without any assistance from Information Technology. An illustration follows the instructions for each of the first 5 steps.

If you have problems, contact Information Technology at ext. 2300.

Before you begin, you should either print these instructions or open a second browser window. Use one window to view the instructions and the second window to make your configuration changes.

Step 1

First, we must go to the area of Netscape that allows you to change your personnel preferences and account settings. With Netscape open do the following:

1. Click on Edit.
2. Click on Preferences.
