Use the Mail Preferences page to specify the return email address you want the HotJava Browser to use when sending email on your behalf. Access this page by choosing Edit->Preferences->Mail.

Type in your Email Address and the name or IP address of your Mail (SMTP) Server.

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transport Protocol. It is the standard protocol for transferring email between systems on the Internet.

In most cases, either the system you're running the HotJava Browser on is your Mail Server, or the server to which your machine is connected is your Mail Server.

If you don't specify a Mail Server, the HotJava Browser looks for a server named "localhost," and if that's not found, a server named "mailhost." If one of these servers is found, the HotJava Browser will use that as the Mail Server.

Check with your system administrator if you're not sure what to specify for your Mail Server.
