Later versions of Netscape allow you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means that you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Yahoo! Business Email messages. (If you are using Netscape 4.7 or earlier, please be sure to write down your current settings before deleting them so you can check email from that account after you make these changes.)
