Setting Up Sub Accounts Service
Our Sub Accounts service enables you to set-up sub accounts with mailbox. If you already have our customized version of Netscape Communicator 4.0 or another e-mail software program that can support more than one e-mail box, just go to our easy online tool to get started
If you need help in configuring Netscape Communicator 4.0 to support additional mailboxes, just select the appropriate instructions below.
Third Party E-mail Software
If your current computer system cannot support Netscape Communicator 4.0, please be advised that at this time, Netscape Navigator 3.0 software does not support more than one mailbox. Fortunately, there are many e-mail software programs (some free and some not) that will allow you to use our Sub Accounts service.
To help you with your selection of e-mail software that will work with our Sub Accounts service, we've tried some of the most popular Windows and Macintosh e-mail software with our service. SBC Internet Services does not specifically recommend any of the following programs, nor do we provide any technical assistance for them. But we have put together directions to help you with the configuration process. Just click on the name of the software program in the list below to see configuration directions.
