How about trying Mozilla 0.9.7 or a nightly because I think Netscape
6.2.1 is based on Mozilla 0.9.4

Its called a salt directory supposed to be for security to prevent your
profile from being accessed over the net

Create a Mail account and make it point to your profile on the server by 
using Edit->Mail and Newsgroup Account Settings, Server Settings, and at 
the bottom there is the Local Directory. I haven't tried this though.

I think you should edit these lines

user_pref("mail.newsrc_root", "F:\\mozilla\\<random>.slt\\News");
user_pref("mail.root.nntp", "F:\\mozilla\\<random>.slt\\News");
user_pref("mail.root.none", "F:\\mozilla\\<random>.slt\\Mail");
user_pref("mail.root.pop3", "F:\\mozilla\\<random>.slt\\Mail");

in the prefs.js (do this while mozilla is not running because it 
overwrites prefs.js upon exit)

Hope that helps =)
