Netscape will happily retrieve your mail from a POP server.
Be aware of one thing...there was an obscure bug with
Netscape 4.05 under Red Hat 5.0. What would happen is if
you tried to send mail from anything but the root account
you'd get an error from Netscape saying that you were out
of memory. It was only supposed to happen if you used the
rpm from Red Hat to install Netscape, and only if you were
running a specific (non-related) service on your box that I
can't recall the name of off hand.
I wasn't running the service. I installed Netscape from source.
I had the bug. Never did solve it. Ended up reinstalling my
whole O/S to get rid of it.
