Customize Mozilla News

To customize Mozilla News, you must complete all fields on this screen. If you leave some but not all fields blank, the system prompts you to complete the blank fields.

If you leave all the fields blank, the customized version of Mozilla 1.4.1 produced by CCK will not include any customized News settings.

For more information on customizing Mozilla News, see "Preparing to Customize Mozilla Mail and News" in the Guide to Customizing and Distributing Mozilla 1.4.1.

Click the Show Example buttons to see examples of the corresponding customization.

Domain

Domain name. Enter the default News domain that you want to appear in the Mozilla newsgroup account settings. Note that this domain name must be different than the domain name you used for Mail. For example, if your mail domain is "mach.net," News domain of "mach.news.net" would work, but "mach.net" would not.

Display name. Enter the News account name that you want to appear near the bottom of the left frame of the main Mozilla Mail screen. For example, "Mach Networks News".

News provider. Enter the text that you want to appear in the New Account Setup screen, where users are prompted to select the type of account that they would like to set up, such as a newsgroup, e-mail, or Webmail. This screen includes a variety of options; choices include AOL and Mozilla accounts, so the more specific you make this text, the more helpful to your customers. For example, to be consistent with other choices on this account setup list, you might enter a string such as "Mach Networks News Account".

News Server

The fields in this section enable you to specify the settings that appear in the Server Settings screen for the Mozilla News Account Settings.

Server name. Enter the name of the News server. For example: mach.news.net

Port number. Enter the port for the News server. The standard port number is 119.

Feedback. Click this button to go to a web page where you can provide feedback about the CCK Tool.

Next. Each time you click Next in a CCK screen, the information you entered or changed on that screen gets automatically saved with the selected configuration.

Exit. Click this button to exit the CCK Tool. The customizations you have specified in any preceding screens will be saved, but information you have specified on the current screen will not.
