QUESTION:
NETSCAPE E-MAIL BUG!!!

ANSWER:
Currently Messenger does not support the full usernames required.

Netscape Mail Fix:
Pop and IMAP

If your user name (not to be confused with your email address) contains @,
you must add the following line to your prefs.js file before Mail will work
properly.
user_pref (mail.allow_at_sign_in_user_name, true);
(there should be quotes in front of mail and after name before the comma..
can\'t write that in here though.)

For Netscape 4.73 or lower (I would assume)
Go to Program Files, Netscape, Users, Then under the user name you will find
prefs.js edit the file with Notepad.

For Netscape 6 and above.
Make sure you can view hidden folders and files in Explore.
Go to Documents & Settings, Your windows user name, Application Data,
Mozilla, Users50, Then your netscape user name, then there is one folder
under that (name varies), prefs.js is under this folder. Edit with Notepad.
