This was working (long time ago) and will be back in.. I checked it out recently.. 

not ready for adding back in, and may not make it in that soon.  Its definetly part of 
1.0.

Yes you can, try like closing it with View->Sidebar, and F9

Sounds like you have problems with your Mac setup in general.. Try 
reinstalling your Mac OS and everything sometime, and try a new build,
with a new profile (this is the most important part) and ns6.2 and get 
rid of the old stuff.


IN MOz/N6 in order to switch servers (for

Well, try to query bugzilla for some related bugs and see if others have 
similar problems.. (try posting to n.p.m.mac and n.p.m.macOSX newsgroups)

I use it cause I'm on dialup, and it renders much faster and gives me 
mail witch I upgraded from NC4.76 to N6.0 and have not gone back.. mail 
works better in ns6.2 with a ton of mail/news fixes since ns6.1 came 
out.  They do support it like others said for corporate features that 
are in Ns4.x that are not yet implemented in Mozilla/Netscape 6.x
