    Hi
    Windows 98.
    I just installed Mozilla 1.5 tonight.
    Nothing, but fun...pages load much faster. Am I happy? Almost...LOL
    I have Netscape 7.1 on my system, as well. In mail, I have two accounts: one from my regulat cable ISP (Comcast), and one web based from Netscape. Comcast account works OK in both browsers, so disreagard it.
    Now, Netscape is closed. I open Mozilla, I click on mail, mail opens. It shows so many messages in my Netscape account, I can see all headers listed, but when I try to click on any of those messages to see a body, an error message pops up: FAILED TO CONNECT TO SERVER IMAP.MAIL.NETCENTER.COM
    I close Mozilla, and I open Netscape, I open Netscape mail, and I have no problem to access my messages in Netscape's web based account.
    Any ideas?

    Yo broni,

    Mozilla 1.4 FAQ

    3.5. Can I access my Netscape WebMail or Hotmail accounts through Mozilla Mail/News?

    No. Netscape WebMail and Hotmail use proprietary protocols. To access WebMail directly through an e-mail client requires you to use Netscape 6+ with AIM; to do so with Hotmail requires either Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. There is also proprietary shareware available that will let you do the same thing.

    You can access your WebMail account on the Web at http://webmail.netscape.com/, or Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com/. If you use Microsoft Messenger, clicking on the appropriate link will open your default browser and take you to your inbox.

    As always, thank you very much.
    I assume there is no workaround to check my Netscape web based mail in Mozilla. That's a little bit inconvenient, since I receive a lot of mail there, and I started to like Mozilla at the same time.
