Hm, it always worked for me.

Assuming that you use the complete installation (Netscape
Communicator). Some time ago I worked with Netscape Navigator, which
does not include e-mail functionality. Now I do use Netscape
Navigator, but have no attention to configure it for e-mail.
We have users using everything from pine, elm and mutt to emacs for
their e-mail, plus some users with Outlook or something like that;
also there are some who in fact do use Netscape for e-mail, but for
most it's just a web browser.
