You say Netscape Messenger so I assume you mean 4.x. There newsgroups
are for the Mozilla project at www.mozilla.org, Mozilla forms the basis
of Netscape 6.x (the current 6.01 is based on a very old release of
Mozilla and should not be taken as a current indication of the project).

First of all, you may want to check to see if your server accepts the %
sign in the username as opposed to @, many servers do.
If that doesn't work then you should try adding the following line in
prefs.js (which by default lives in C:\Program
Files\Netscape\Users\default\ on Windows and ~/.netscape/ on UNIX/Linux)
user_pref("mail.allow_at_sign_in_user_name", true);
You might as well also take the opportunity to upgrade to 4.77 if you
want to stick with the Netscape 4.x series. Don't bother with Netscape
6.01, but the next Netscape release (possibly called 6.5) is going to be
based on a more recent version of Mozilla so will be a greatly superior
product and is worth a try.

No they can't! They're just usually pointless.
