Let's say your domain name is neatthings.com, and you'd like to be able to send email so that it looks like it's coming from don@neatthings.com (Don Smith). Here's how to do it.

If your mail program is Microsoft's Outlook Express:

• Get into Outlook Express.
• Press the "Tools" option at the top of the Outlook Express window, and select Accounts.
• Select the "Mail" tab.
• You may already have a "mail account" set up there; what you want to do is add another. But you need to write down info from your current account first. So select your current account, and press the Properties option. Then select the Servers tab and write down the following info: -- Incoming mail (POP3) -- Outgoing mail (SMTP) -- Incoming Mail server account name -- Incoming Mail server password.
• Then press ok to exit the Properties Window.
• Now add your new account by pressing the Add button and select "Mail. . .", which will pass you to the Internet Connection Wizard.
• In the "Your Name" window that pops up, enter your name (e.g., "Don Smith"), then press "Next".
• In the "Internet E-mail Address" window, select the "I already have an email address" option, and type in the desired email address (e.g., don@neatthings.com); then press "Next".
• You can leave "My incoming mail server is a POP3 server" set that way, then fill in the other 2 fields with the same info you had written down from your first account. Press "Next".
• Again fill in Account and Password with the info you wrote down from the first account. Press "Finish".
• Now press the "Set as Default" button to make this new account your default account (which means that, by default, your email messages will now read as though they are from don@neatthings.com).

If your mail program is Netscape Messenger -- This program currently only supports just one email persona. Thus, you can't just switch among different personas (as in Outlook Express); if you want the message to appear as though it's coming from a different source, you have to go in and change your "email identity" everytime. Fortunately, this isn't very difficult. (Don't forgot to change back to your default, after you send a message from a different persona.)

• Get into Netscape. Under "Edit", select "Preferences". Double click on "Mail & Newsgroups", and then click on "Identity".
• Type in your name (e.g., "Don Smith") and your email address (e.g., "don@neatthings.com"). You may have to replace your current information. If the current information is your default "reply" address, don't forget to set this back after you send your message.
• Press OK.
• Send your email message. On the receiving end, it will look like it came from the person and address you just typed in.
