No, it uses the pop3 svr you did tell him. And the same for smtp svr.
i.e.: I have a svr which retrieves automatically my mail from all the
P.O. boxes I have, and I have exim installed on it. So, I setup
Netscape to send mail to my svr, and to retrieve it from it too; but
if you have no mail svr @ home, you can set them to external svrs.

In this case, avoid to setup the P.O. box auto-seek because it will drop
all the mail in ~/nsmail/Inbox.
