I will put this as succinctly as possible. Without LDAP, Netscape and
Mozilla both have *no* chance, zero, none, nada, of being anything but an
interesting HTML validation test in the corporate or Higher ed worlds. It
could render pages before I even get to them, and support every standard
that was ever a glint in the W3C's eye, have absolutely no bugs, and not
crash at gunpoint, and without LDAP, it won't succeed. Well, unless you
remove the mail capabilities from it, and make it a browser only.
If you read the LDAP bug on this in Bugzilla, just add up the fortune 500
employees...now remove them all as future corporate customers. Remove all
colleges that use LDAP as NS6/Mozilla customers.
Basically, Netscape 6 version 1 and Mozilla are of use only to people who
never use LDAP. Right now, I'm in the position of having to say, I don't
care if it's fast or compliant...it's NOT COMPATIBLE with a NETSCAPE email
system. So no version of NS supported past 4.7.X, and No support for Mozilla
whatsoever. It's a shame, but it's the reality. Without LDAP, the only email
client I can think of that you aren't worse than is Emailer, and that's
unsupported, and hasn't had an update in 3 years...wait, Emailer's better,
NS6/Moz mail rules suck.
